The status of chestnut cultivation and utilization in the Canary Islands

Advances in Horticultural Science, 2013
Chestnut was introduced to the Canary Islands at the beginning of the 16th century during the time of the Spanish Conquest. It was utilised by the conquerors as a means of claiming property for communal lands.

In Situ GWAS in Two Range‐Edge Populations of European Beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) Identify Genetic Factors of Adaptation to Climate Change

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 15, August 2026.
ABSTRACT In forest tree populations, the timing of budbreak (TBB) depends on several factors, both environmental and genetic. The genomic architecture underlying this trait is still not fully characterized. So far, common garden experiments have highlighted a few genomic regions with little heritability, while the whole spectrum of TBB variation ...

Simulating past and future refugia for temperate trees in northern Italy

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.
During the Quaternary, trees responded to the climatic changes of glacial–interglacial cycles with large‐scale range shifts. Over cold glacials, temperate tree species contracted their ranges and survived in areas known as refugia. Several studies point to the Euganean Hills (Colli Euganei), in Veneto, northern Italy, as one of the northernmost ...

Characterization and antioxidant capacity of sweet chestnut honey produced in North-West Spain

Journal of Apicultural Science, 2016
In recent years, authentic foodstuffs have became a major requirement for consumers and producers worldwide. Honey has increased in popularity since it is associated with a natural diet, and because of honey’s authentic origin.

Tree canopy shapes the survival of oak and beech saplings during the regeneration stage along an elevation‐driven temperature gradient

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 7, July 2026.
Forests are complex, multilayered systems in which canopy cover strongly influences understorey microclimates. Here, we show that the temperature‐buffering effect of the forest canopy affects tree regeneration differently among species along an elevation gradient in the French Pyrenees.

Protecting temperate old‐growth forests as biotic microrefugia amid climate change

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.
Old‐growth forests are essential biotic microrefugia, providing high carbon storage, biodiversity, and stable microclimates that protect understorey species from climatic extremes. Their resilience to drought and disturbance makes them more effective than younger forests, yet habitat loss, fragmentation, and climate change increasingly threaten these ...

Shaping future forests: how can ecophysiology support climate‐smart forest management?

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2778-2813, June 2026.
Summary Climate change, particularly the associated increase in extreme events and disturbances, threatens the numerous environmental, social, and economic benefits that forests provide, both locally and globally. Heat and drought pose significant risks to forest ecosystems; the anticipated future climate is expected to exacerbate this trend ...

Endophytic and ectomycorrhizal, an overlooked dual ecological niche? Insights from natural environments and Russula species

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 6, Page 3946-3960, June 2026.
Summary Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EcMF) are key components of temperate ecosystems, and recent studies suggest that they can also inhabit non‐EcM plant roots as endophytes. We aimed to (1) provide new evidence of EcMF colonization of non‐EcM hosts, (2) offer direct microscopic confirmation of such endophytism and (3) assess factors influencing ...
