Reducing resilience debt: Mechanical felling and repeated prescribed fires may sustain eastern oak forests

open access: yesEcological Applications, Volume 35, Issue 7, October 2025.
Abstract The misalignment of species adaptations with current environmental conditions can cause ecosystems to lose resilience, accumulate resilience debt, and transition to another state. Such a state change is evident in eastern North American broadleaf forests where dominant tree species are shifting from oaks (Quercus spp.) to mesophytic species ...

International Biological Flora: Tsuga canadensis*

open access: yesJournal 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.

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

open access: yesBiological 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.

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

open access: yesGlobal 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

open access: yesMolecular 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.
