Recurrent hot droughts cause persistent legacy effects in a temperate Scots Pine forest. [PDF]

Plant Biol (Stuttg)
A series of hot drought events caused persistent legacy effects in a Scots Pine forest, with severe negative impacts on ecosystem carbon fluxes. Abstract Recent hot‐dry events have caused significant impacts and legacy effects in temperate ecosystems. Here, we investigate legacy effects of the 2018 hot drought on a Pinus sylvestris L.

Climate and Hydrology Shape the Growth and Water Use Efficiency in South Florida's (USA) Pine and Cypress Forests. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
In South Florida, tree growth and water‐use efficiency are significantly influenced by hydrological conditions, with water depth playing a more critical role than overall climate variables. Using dendrochronology and stable carbon isotopes, the study found that Taxodium species grow best during wetter summers, while Pinus elliottii grows most in wetter

Gene Flow Across Large Distances in the Cavity-Nesting Wasp <i>Deuteragenia subintermedia</i> in a Central European Forest. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Retention forestry is widely considered a promising approach to conserve forest biodiversity, and beneficial effects of more heterogeneous forest structure have been shown for several taxa. However, it is often unclear if the approaches taken locally can provide connectivity for specimens over the landscape or if they lead to “biodiversity islands ...

Disentangling the effects of multifunctional forestry practices on the abundances of birds and their invertebrate prey. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract European forests are increasingly managed to harmonize production goals with biodiversity conservation, through practices such as retention and close‐to‐nature forestry. Forest birds may benefit from these practices, but it remains unclear how the effects of different management practices compare, and whether responses to management are driven

Flower power: Modeling floral resources of wild cherry (Prunus avium L.) for bee pollinators based on 3D data. [PDF]

Ecology
Abstract Pollinator declines pose a threat to ecosystems and food production. Agriculture contributes to, but also suffers from, the erosion of pollination services. Our study explores the potential of trees in agricultural landscapes to support pollinators by providing floral resources.

Emerging trend of increasing spring frost damage for beech at higher elevations in the Jura Mountains: evidence from tree-ring data. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Late spring frost (LSF) severely impacts tree growth and forest productivity, with global warming potentially altering LSF risk due to asymmetric changes in vegetation onset and frost timing. However, reconstructing past frost regimes with climatic and phenological data remains challenging. Using phenological models, high‐resolution climate and

Perceived biodiversity: is what we measure also what we see and hear?

People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 8, Page 2019-2037, August 2025.
Abstract Biodiversity is crucial for human health and well‐being. Perceived biodiversity—people's subjective experience of biodiversity—seems to be particularly relevant for mental well‐being. Using photographs and audio recordings of forests that varied in levels of biodiversity, we conducted two sorting studies to assess how people perceive visual ...

Urban Tree Growth and Drought Responses Show Evidence of Climate Resilience. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Urban trees face increasing risks from climate change, including drought and heatwaves, which threaten their growth and survival. By studying 10 tree species across seven Australian cities, we found that local climate strongly influences tree growth, and that some species are well adapted to urban climates.

Dendroecology in the tropics: a review [PDF]

Trees, 2010
Over the last decade the field of tropical dendroecology has developed rapidly and major achievements have been made. We reviewed the advances in three main themes within the field. First, long chronologies for tropical tree species were constructed which allowed climate reconstructions, revealed sources of climatic variation and clarified climate ...

Dendroecology in Asia [PDF]

Trees, 2013
Though centered in a core area of human settlement and agricultural activity since prehistoric times, and despite tremendous forest losses due to overexploitation and conversion processes, Asia still hosts large areas and a wide variety of ecologically contrasting forests.
