Sudden forest canopy collapse corresponding with extreme drought and heat in a mediterranean-type eucalypt forest in southwestern Australia

, 2013
Drought and heat-induced forest dieback and mortality are emerging global concerns. Although Mediterranean-type forest (MTF) ecosystems are considered to be resilient to drought and other disturbances, we observed a sudden and unprecedented forest ...

Drivers of planted seedling survival and growth in a Mediterranean‐climate woodland restoration experiment

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The restoration of degraded ecosystems is an important means of promoting and conserving biodiversity. However, restoration projects on average fail to reach target biodiversity levels within the time frames they are studied. Competition from non‐native groundlayer grasses and forbs, potential facilitative effects of plant–plant ...

Tidal Attenuation and Poor Drainage Make Interior Microtidal Marshes Vulnerable to Sea Level Rise

Geophysical Research Letters
Empirical and simulation models often assume a uniform tidal range across marsh platforms to predict marsh vulnerability to sea level rise (SLR), overlooking the hydrological heterogeneity caused by tidal attenuation and drainage conditions.

Differential growth dynamics of common salt marsh species Spartina alterniflora and Juncus roemerianus under varied sediment amendments

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Many coastal wetlands are at high risk of degradation or loss due to sea‐level rise. Restoration techniques for maintaining coastal marshes are paramount, with thin‐layer placement (TLP) emerging as one feasible solution. Despite TLP's utilization, additional research is needed on species‐ and sediment‐specific responses ...

Using genetic tools to diagnose dieback in Parkinsonia aculeata

, 2014
Dieback in invasive and agricultural plants is a common phenomenon attributed to a range of abiotic and biotic factors. In this project we are investigating the link between the introduction and establishment of a non-native plant to a new range and the ...

Rainforest dieback mapping and assessment. 2004 Monitoring report including an assessment of dieback in high altitude rainforests. [PDF]

, 2006
• Dieback has been confirmed as being associated with walking tracks on both Mount Bartle Frere and Mount Bellenden Ker. • Several sites were categorised as suffering from severe dieback.

Drone‐based phenotyping of maize for multiple disease resistance and yield in breeding field trials

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Improving selection for multiple disease resistance (MDR) and yield in maize (Zea mays L.) requires high‐throughput, objective phenotyping tools, particularly under field conditions where several foliar diseases co‐occur. We evaluated drone‐based multispectral vegetation indices (VIs) for predicting resistance to northern leaf blight (NLB ...

Fungal community survey of Fraxinus excelior in New Zealand

, 2012
The European Ash tree (Fraxinus excelsior) is widely grown throughout Europe. As a large deciduous tree species, it grows a tall, domed crown and has an attractive tree shape, so it is considered as a popular amenity tree species. European Ash is planted

Spread of Ash Dieback in Norway [PDF]

, 2017
Ash dieback, caused by the ascomycete Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, was first observed in the eastern and southernmost Norway in 2008. Based on the age of stem bark lesions, it was concluded that the fungus had arrived to the region no later than 2006.
