Provenance Variation in Functional Traits of European Forest Trees: Meta‐Analysis Reveals Effects of Taxa and Age Despite Critical Research Gaps

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
This meta‐analysis on intraspecific variation in European trees studied the frequency of provenance variation, provenance–environment interaction, clinal variation along the climate of origin or transfer distance. While identifying trait group specific patterns of variation, research gaps have been identified in terms of age and geographical ...

Long‐Term Temporal Divergence in Post‐Drought Resilience Decline Between Deciduous and Evergreen Tree Species

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 7, July 2025.
Severe drought increasingly threatens the resilience of forest biomes worldwide. Using a tree‐ring database from Canadian forests, encompassing 40,147 trees across 4558 plots and 23 species, we analyzed temporal and spatial patterns of drought resilience.

Advance, steadfast, retreat? Growth and establishment of white spruce seedlings at treelines in Alaska

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract Range dynamics of tree species are largely driven by seedling establishment and survival, mainly at and beyond current treelines. Although numerous studies document the growth of mature white spruce (Picea glauca) trees in Alaska, research on seedling establishment and growth, particularly dendroecological studies addressing climate ...

Grazing Affects Soil Organic Carbon Stocks Directly and Indirectly Through Herbaceous Species Diversity in Sahelian Savanna Ecosystems

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 36, Issue 10, Page 3490-3498, June 2025.
ABSTRACT The impact of livestock grazing on soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks in the Sahel has been poorly documented due to a lack of data from different grazing intensities. This study evaluated SOC stocks under four grazing intensities within 0–30 cm soil depth in dry savanna ecosystems of Senegal.

Editorial note for the special issue on ‘Tropical Dendroecology’ [PDF]

Trees, 2010
It is not very long ago that tree-ring studies on tropical trees were in their pioneering stage, being regarded as exceptional studies. Since dendroecology evolved in the temperate climate zones, the majority of dendroecologists trusted in the paradigm that trees growing in tropical climates do not exhibit annual growth rings and hence are not suitable

Benchmarking tree species classification from proximally sensed laser scanning data: Introducing the FOR‐species20K dataset

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, Page 801-818, April 2025.
Abstract Proximally sensed laser scanning presents new opportunities for automated forest ecosystem data capture. However, a gap remains in deriving ecologically pertinent information, such as tree species, without additional ground data. Artificial intelligence approaches, particularly deep learning (DL), have shown promise towards automation ...

MAIDEN: a model for analyzing ecosystem processes in dendroecology [PDF]

Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 2004
Ecophysiological and dendroecological data from a temperate sessile oak (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.) stand in Belgium were used to develop and parameterize a dendroecological process-based model. The purpose of this model is to serve as a tool for exploring the relationship between climate variability and tree growth based on dendro ecological ...

34th European Dendroecological Fieldweek 2024 - Report

Forest@ - Rivista di Selvicoltura ed Ecologia Forestale
The 34th European Dendroecological Fieldweek was held in Bardonecchia (TO), Italy, from August 23rd to 30th. The European Dendroecological Fieldweek is a summer school for students and young researchers interested in exploring and deepening the theme of dendrochronology and all its declinations.
