International Biological Flora: Tsuga canadensis*

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 10, Page 3037-3080, October 2025.
Eastern Hemlock is a long‐lived forest tree of eastern North America known for its deep shade and home given to many organisms. Despite surviving large‐scale clearing for agriculture when Europeans arrived, it returned to dominate when the land was abandoned in the mid 1800s.

Chestnut resistance to the blight disease: insights from transcriptome analysis

BMC Plant Biology, 2012
Background A century ago, Chestnut Blight Disease (CBD) devastated the American chestnut. Backcross breeding has been underway to introgress resistance from Chinese chestnut into surviving American chestnut genotypes. Development of genomic resources for

Advancements in ecological niche models for forest adaptation to climate change: a comprehensive review

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 4, Page 1754-1781, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Climate change poses significant challenges to the health and functions of forest ecosystems. Ecological niche models have emerged as crucial tools for understanding the impact of climate change on forests at the population, species, and ecosystem levels.

Resistance to Phytophthora cinnamomi in American Chestnut (Castanea dentata) Backcross Populations that Descended from Two Chinese Chestnut (Castanea mollissima) Sources of Resistance [PDF]

Plant Disease, 2019
Restoration of American chestnut (Castanea dentata) depends on combining resistance to both the chestnut blight fungus (Cryphonectria parasitica) and Phytophthora cinnamomi, which causes Phytophthora root rot, in a diverse population of C. dentata. Over a 14-year period (2004 to 2017), survival and root health of American chestnut backcross seedlings ...

Warming, Snow Exclusion, and Soil Type Alter the Timing of Plant and Soil Activity and Associated Nutrient Losses

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 8, August 2025.
As winters warm, periods with warm soils that support rapid microbial activity while plants are dormant are increasingly frequent in ecosystems with seasonal snow. Soil nutrients, which are critical for plant growth, are vulnerable to leaching loss during these plant‐microbe asynchronies.

Pathways to Recovery: Genomics and Resistance Assays for Tree Species Devastated by the Myrtle Rust Pathogen

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 16, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Myrtle rust is a plant disease caused by the invasive fungal pathogen Austropuccinia psidii (G. Winter) Beenken, which has a global host list of 480 species. It was detected in Australia in 2010 and has caused the rapid decline of native Myrtaceae species, including rainforest trees Rhodamnia rubescens (Benth.) Miq.

The implications of American chestnut reintroduction on landscape dynamics and carbon storage

Ecosphere, 2017
In the eastern United States, American chestnut (Castanea dentata) was historically a major component of forest communities, but was functionally extirpated in the early 20th century by an introduced pathogen, chestnut blight (Cryphonectria parasitica ...

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Cytisus scoparius*

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 7, Page 1877-1933, July 2025.
Broom is an attractive and common native plant across Britain, Ireland and most of Europe, and yet it is considered a harmful and invasive weed around the rest of the world. This is aided by broom thriving on poor dry soils, helped by using green stems for photosynthesis and having root nodules to fix nitrogen.

Update of the Xylella spp. host plant database – Systematic literature search up to 31 December 2024

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract This scientific report provides an update of the Xylella spp. host plant database, aiming to provide information and scientific support to risk assessors, risk managers and researchers dealing with Xylella spp. Upon a mandate of the European Commission, EFSA created and regularly updates a database of host plant species of Xylella spp.
