Quantitative and qualitative characteristics and altitudinal zonation of Arasbaran forest protected area, northwestern Iran [PDF]
Knowledge on silvicultural characteristics of forest stands is prior to any forest management practice. The objectives of this study were to determine the forest types and to explore some quantitative and qualitative characteristics of Arasbaran forest ...

ABSTRACT The timing of autumn leaf senescence is driven by external cues such as temperature and photoperiod and is strongly regulated by internal developmental processes. Correlative evidence suggests that earlier budburst and warmer conditions in spring and summer could accelerate development and advance senescence, yet this hypothesis remains ...

Decaying Logs Shape the Distribution of Bird‐Mediated Seed Rain in a Temperate Deciduous Forest
Sites used by birds for perching and roosting function simultaneously as defecation points, concentrating diaspores transported via endozoochory. In contrast, the role of perching structures in shaping bird‐mediated seed rain within forest ecosystems remains poorly understood.

Site‐specific climate responses of soil decomposer biodiversity in forests
Abstract Climate change strongly impacts forest ecosystems, exacerbating drought stress, tree mortality, and shifts in species composition. While aboveground changes are well documented, belowground biodiversity and its response to climate‐driven alterations remain less studied.

Simulation of surface fire to study the spread rate of it`s distribution in mixed hardwood [PDF]
Wildfires as one of the natural events influence forest ecosystems. Global warming and it’s effect on lengthening of dry season along with accumulation of senesced litter may couple the effects of fire in forest ecosystems.

ABSTRACT Background Urban trees provide essential ecosystem services, but their growth and longevity are often limited by soil compaction. Although pneumatic lance injection (PLI) is increasingly promoted as a minimally invasive and efficient soil loosening technique, robust scientific evidence for its long‐term effectiveness remains limited.

Abstract Sixteenth‐century herbaria are the oldest plant collections that survive today and, as such, they provide valuable insights in past floras and historical botanical interactions. One of the most fascinating still extant 16th‐century herbaria is the four‐volume collection of the German physician, botanist and traveler Leonhard Rauwolf (1535 ...

ABSTRACT Wood‐inhabiting nematodes of the genus Bursaphelenchus are a group with significant ecological and economic impacts on global forest ecosystems. This review aims to update current knowledge on their spatial distribution, host‐vector associations and the factors driving species expansion under the framework of climate change.

Abstract The ascomycetous fungus Cryphonectria carpinicola is typically found in its asexual form on the European hornbeam, and its sexual state has only recently been discovered in deadwood of different Carpinus species in Japan. Recently, this fungus has been added to the EPPO Alert List due to its increasing incidence in the EPPO region and a ...
