Notes on the ecological distribution of the myxomycete Arcyria globosa

MycoAsia - Journal of Modern Mycology
Prior to the virtual elimination of American chestnut (Castanea dentata) from the forests of eastern North America by the chestnut blight fungus, Arcyria globosa was commonly found on old chestnut burs that had fallen to the ground.

Modeling and Analysis of American Chestnut Populations Subject to Various Stages of Infection

Letters in Biomathematics, 2014
American chestnuts, Castanea dentata, were once a dominant tree in eastern deciduous forests of the United States before the chestnut blight fungus, Cryphonectria parasitica, was introduced unintentionally in the early 1900s in New York.

Canopy openness as a predictor of growth for Castanea dentata seedlings in the Cumberland Uplands of Tennessee [PDF]

, 2020
Castanea dentata growth and reproduction in the forest ecosystem is limited by light. Canopy gaps could be used for restoration efforts; however, the lack of blight resistant planting material has limited what is known about the silvicultural ...

Genomic insights into trichome and inflorescence evolution of the palaeopolyploid tree genus Greyia

The Plant Journal, Volume 128, Issue 1, October 2026.
SUMMARY The southern African endemic tree Greyia Hook. & Harv. (Francoaceae, Geraniales) comprises three species distinguished by striking variation in trichome morphology and inflorescence architecture, yet the genomic and regulatory basis of these traits has remained largely unexplored.

Reconsidering the fire ecology of the iconic American chestnut

Ecosphere, 2020
The iconic American chestnut (Castanea dentata) once spanned a large portion of eastern North America before its functional extinction in the early 20th century due primarily to non‐native fungal pathogens.

Established Short‐Rotation Willow (Salix spp.) as an Effective Facilitator of Native Hardwood Tree Regeneration in New York State, USA

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.
In the Northeastern US, short‐rotation willow biomass crops have the potential to serve as nurse crops that facilitate hardwood regeneration on former agricultural land to support afforestation efforts. Regeneration declines with distance from natural seed sources, but could be augmented with seeding/underplanting.

Altitudinal Variation in Trade‐Off Strategies of the Plant Economics Spectrum of Pinus massoniana Plantations in Subtropical Mountains

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study investigated the resource‐use strategies of trees and understory shrubs along an altitudinal gradient in subtropical Pinus massoniana plantations. It revealed that P. massoniana shifts from an acquisitive to a conservative strategy with increasing elevation, while understory shrubs show the opposite pattern.
