Impact of the “Flavescence Dorée” Phytoplasma on Xylem Growth and Anatomical Characteristics in Trunks of ‘Chardonnay’ Grapevines (Vitis vinifera)

Biology, 2022
Flavescence dorée (FD) is a grapevine disease caused by ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma vitis’ (FDp), which is epidemically transmitted by the Nearctic leafhopper Scaphoideus titanus.

Intra‐Annual Isotope Variations in Tree Rings Reveal Climate Change Impacts on Tree Growth and Water Use in the Turtmann River Basin, Switzerland

Ecohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 1, January‐February 2026.
ABSTRACT It is well established that changes in climatic conditions across Alpine environments have influenced tree‐growth at altitudes close to the tree line. Less well known is the impact that increasing proportions of glacial melt water, which may accompany increasing temperatures and otherwise drier conditions during warmer summers, have on the ...

Diverse historical fire disturbance and successional dynamics in Douglas‐fir forests of the western Oregon Cascades, USA

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract We created the first annually resolved records of historical fire occurrence coupled with precise estimates of tree establishment for the northern half of the west slope of the Oregon Cascades, a region that is home to some of the most productive forests on earth.

A restoration strategy to promote tree establishment in mining‐polluted rocky outcrops using bryophytes

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Introduction Mining activities can lead to the formation of degraded, barren, or metal‐contaminated ecosystems. Resource‐poor ecosystems such as rocky outcrops are more sensitive to mining degradation, and their natural regeneration can be challenging due to soil erosion, lack of resources or seeds, and soil acidification.

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 ...

Biomass production of tropical trees across space and time: The shifting roles of diameter growth and wood density

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 11, Page 3141-3158, November 2025.
Diameter growth is an important and good indicator of forest carbon production. However, size‐related changes in wood density, which are usually neglected, are critical for accurate short‐ and long‐term carbon assessments, especially in tropical humid sites.

Transient Post-Fire Growth Recovery of Two Mediterranean Broadleaf Tree Species

Fire
Fires affect forest dynamics in seasonally dry regions such as the Mediterranean Basin. There, fire impacts on tree growth have been widely characterized in conifers, particularly pine species, but we lack information on broadleaf tree species that ...

Pre-contact Indigenous fire stewardship: a research framework and application to a Pacific Northwest temperate rainforest

Frontiers in Environmental Archaeology
Fire is a key disturbance process that shapes the structure and function of montane temperate rainforest in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). Recent research is revealing more frequent historical fire activity in the western central Cascades than expected by ...
