Process models and model-data fusion in dendroecology [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2014 Dendrochronology (i.e. the study of annually dated tree-ring time series) has proved to be a powerful technique to understand tree-growth. This paper intends to show the interest of using ecophysiological modeling not only to understand and predict tree ...

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 EvolIn 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 EvolRetention 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 ApplAbstract 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]
EcologyAbstract 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.

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 ...

Demographic and Structural Variability Modulate Growth Dynamics in European Beech Primary Forests. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolClimate change is increasing drought and heat stress on European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), causing widespread tree vitality losses and growth declines across Europe. Using a large tree ring network from montane primary beech forests, we found that trees of various ages and sizes respond differently to climate warming, leading to contrasting within ...
