Management of kauri dieback

New Zealand Plant Protection, 2009
Kauri illthrift commonly known as Kauri dieback has been identified as an increasing problem affecting kauri (Agathis australis) across the Auckland region A water and soilborne pathogen Phytophthora taxon Agathis (PTA) has been identified as a causal agent of Kauri dieback at some locations particularly within the Waitakeres Ranges Regional Park and ...

Using longitudinal survival probabilities to test field vigour estimates in sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) [PDF]

, 2008
Tree mortality is a major force driving forest dynamics. To foresters, however, tree mortality is often considered a loss in productivity. To reduce tree mortality, silvicultural systems, such as selection cuts, aim at removing trees that are more likely

Enhanced Ultramicropore of Biomass‐Derived Porous Carbon for Efficient and Low‐Energy CO2 Capture: Integration of Adsorption and Solar Desorption

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
By increasing the ultramicropore volume of biomass‐derived porous carbon through mechanical compression and utilizing its photothermal properties, this study achieves high CO2 adsorption capacity and solar‐driven regeneration with low energy consumption, providing a novel strategy for high‐efficiency carbon capture technology.

Nutrition Status of Trees on Spoil Heaps After Coal Mining Can Be Inferred From Seasonal Dynamics of Foliar Nutrient Concentrations

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A stable vegetation cover on given habitat conditions can be one of the possible requirements for post‐mining sites, as it can prevent erosion and dustiness of these anthropogenic surfaces and bring several practical future benefits, such as biomass production and microclimate improvement.

Social and cultural considerations for the restoration of ‘lost’ tree species: The fall and rise of elm

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Attempts to address biodiversity loss have led to ecosystem and species restoration efforts. Tree species restoration is particularly relevant because of increasing threats from pests and pathogens. However, there are different notions of ‘loss’, as well as sociocultural considerations, including social acceptability, which are often neglected

Populus tremuloides seedling establishment: An underexplored vector for forest type conversion after multiple disturbances [PDF]

, 2017
Ecosystem resilience to climate change is contingent on post-disturbance plant regeneration. Sparse gymnosperm regeneration has been documented in subalpine forests following recent wildfires and compounded disturbances, both of which are increasing.

Demystifying fungal systematics: A gateway to fungal literacy and societal/ecological relevance through familiar species

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Fungal systematics can feel overwhelming given the vast species diversity within this kingdom, with numerous subgroups at every taxonomic rank. This often creates a disconnect between the undertsnidng of fungal taxonomic diversity and their societal relevance.
