Phylogenetic and Population Genetic Analysis Decipher the Taxonomic Consistency on Cryptic Betula costata Trautv. (Betulaceae) Populations in Japan and the Process on Its Divergence and Isolation

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 3, May 2026.
Betula costata, a deciduous broad‐leaved tree habits in the cool‐cold temperate forests in East Asia, is an ideal species for studying the persistence of relict plants. Although cryptic populations of this species have been reported in central Japan in recent years, species delineation of them using molecular evidence has not been undertaken.

Host preferences of non‐native Acalolepta aesthetica (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) on the Island of Hawaiʻi

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 149-159, May 2026.
Acalolepta aesthetica is a non‐native cerambycid established on the Island of Hawaiʻi. We show its preferred hosts are woody species that are highly valued for agricultural, horticultural and cultural uses. We used a resource selection function to estimate host preferences and found that kukui (Aleurites moluccanus), the state tree, was preferred ...

Demographic and Structural Variability Modulate Growth Dynamics in European Beech Primary Forests

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 5, May 2026.
Climate change is increasing drought and heat stress on European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), causing widespread tree vitality losses and growth declines across Europe. Using a large tree ring network from montane primary beech forests, we found that trees of various ages and sizes respond differently to climate warming, leading to contrasting within ...

Phytohormones involved in vascular cambium activity in woods: current progress and future challenges

Frontiers in Plant Science
Vascular cambium is the continuation of meristem activity at the top of plants, which promotes lateral growth of plants. The vascular cambium evolved as an adaptation for secondary growth, initially in early seed plants, and became more refined in the ...

Reduced snow cover at the alpine treeline: resistance and recovery of saplings

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 3, Page 1492-1509, May 2026.
Summary At high elevations, tree saplings and shrubs are usually protected by mid‐winter snow cover, although climate change is expected to extend the snow‐free (SF) period. Exposure to winter drought, freeze–thaw events and freezing temperatures will therefore increase, inducing damages to the hydraulic system and to living cells, resulting in reduced

Spring drought delayed the stem growth resumption of four broadleaf species in a subtropical forest of China

Global Ecology and Conservation
Adverse effects of frequent extreme drought events on forest growth have been widely reported. Previous studies primarily focused on boreal forests and temperate forests. However, it is unclear how drought affects the cambium phenology and growth rate of

Perception of gravity expressed by production of cambial callus in ash (Fraxinus excelsior L) internodes

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2011
In ash internodes isolated from vertical stems during winter dormancy, cambial activity was stimulated by applying an aqueous solution of auxin to the apical end and water to the basal end.
