Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.We investigated both fine‐scale SGS and leaf shape variation in five Fagaceae species (Q. glauca, Q. multinervis, C. tibetana, C. faberi, and C. fargesii) from the genera Quercus and Castanopsis in Wuyishan National Park. We found that Quercus species exhibit stronger fine‐scale SGS than Castanopsis species.

Facilitation of American Chestnut (Castanea dentata) Seedling Establishment byPinus virginianain Mine Restoration [PDF]
International Journal of Ecology, 2012 This study evaluated the influence of planting sites on the establishment and ectomycorrhizal (ECM) colonization of American chestnut (Castanea denetata(Marsh.) Borkh.) on an abandoned coal mine in an Appalachian region of the United States. Root morphotyping and sequencing of the fungal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region were used to identify ...

A conceptual framework for restoration of threatened plants: the effective model of American chestnut (Castanea dentata) reintroduction [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2012 SummaryWe propose a conceptual framework for restoration of threatened plant species that encourages integration of technological, ecological, and social spheres. A sphere encompasses ideas relevant to restoration and the people working within similar areas of influence or expertise.
