Woody Vegetation Dynamics Beyond the Treeline: Identifying Limiting Processes and Their Tipping Points

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
Illustration of temporal trends in Arctic and alpine woody vegetation under changing growth conditions (summer temperature and winter snowpack). Upper panel: example of shrub expansion in southern France (photograph included). Greening is detected via increasing NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index).

Linking Dendroecology And Association Genetics: Stress Responses Archived In Tree Rings Associate With SNP Genotypes In Abies alba (Mill.)

, 2017
Genetic association studies in forest tress would greatly benefit from information on tree response to environmental stressors over time. Dendroecology can close this gap by providing such time series measurements.

Network modularity analysis reveals strategies for strengthening forest resistance, recovery and resilience to disturbances

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 8, August 2026.
Our findings highlight the need to jointly consider resistance, recovery and resilience when conceptualizing or implementing forest management strategies. Our network approach identifies the bundles of manageable predictors most consistently associated with forest resistance and resilience, providing a basis for developing management strategies, while ...

Climate change and fire alter biotic interactions and tree growth in high‐elevation forests

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Climate change and shifting fire regimes have the potential to alter forest structure and tree growth dynamics in high‐elevation forests; however, the relative role of competitive and facilitative interactions in shaping postfire responses remains unclear.

Restoration of Mixed Conifer Communities Using Prescribed Fire in Bryce Canyon National Park [PDF]

, 1998
A fire history conducted in the mixed conifer community types of Bryce Canyon National Park found the mean fire-return interval has lengthened from 7.5 to 45 years since 1900.

Natural forest disturbances palaeoecology [PDF]

, 2012
This Bc. thesis deals with the disturbances, which form an integral part of many ecosystems. The main foci are natural disturbances (in contrast to anthropogenic ones) of temperate and boreal forests.

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.
