Endophyte community composition is associated with dieback occurrence in an invasive tree

, 2016
Background and aims Dieback is pervasive in many populations of invasive woody weeds globally. Previous studies on dieback have focused on specific potential causative biotic agents, but most cases remain unexplained.

The extension of the taxon cycle model to island plants: insights from the Canarian vascular flora

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Taxon cycle models describe eco‐evolutionary patterns of lineage colonization, diversification, and decline across archipelagos, inferring an important role for competition amongst ecologically similar taxa in driving concurrent niche changes.

TreeMig framework ver. 1.0: an R package with GUI to simulate spatio‐temporal forest dynamics

Ecography, EarlyView.
Spatio‐temporal vegetation models are essential for simulating dynamics and shifts in species distributions over large areas, particularly under global change. One such model is the dynamic forest landscape model TreeMig. We have developed a framework that makes the model more user‐friendly, improves its functionality, and expands its possibilities ...

Thresholds of biodiversity and ecosystem function in a forest ecosystem undergoing dieback [PDF]

, 2017
Ecological thresholds, which represent points of rapid change in ecological properties, are of major scientific and societal concern. However, very little research has focused on empirically testing the occurrence of thresholds in temperate terrestrial ...

Climate change and the ash dieback crisis [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2016
AbstractBeyond the direct influence of climate change on species distribution and phenology, indirect effects may also arise from perturbations in species interactions. Infectious diseases are strong biotic forces that can precipitate population declines and lead to biodiversity loss.

Topography constrains the climatic response of treeline migration in Taiwan's subalpine forests

Ecography, EarlyView.
Treelines are moving upslope, but the rates and drivers differ among different regions, globally. Many studies have examined the relationship between treeline movement and climate change, particularly rising temperature, while the role of topographical factors has received much less attention, despite the longstanding recognition of its importance.

Pasture dieback: Past activities and current situation across Queensland (2017). [PDF]

, 2017
Over the last 5 years (2012-17), an increasing area of grass pastures, both sown and native, have been dying in patches across multiple districts in eastern Queensland.

Stable isotopes indicate ecosystem restructuring following climate‐driven mangrove dieback

, 2019
Extreme climatic events can trigger sudden but often long‐lasting impacts in ecosystems by causing near to complete mortality of foundation (habitat‐forming) species.

Forest Topsoil Organic Carbon Declines Under Ash Dieback. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Tree diseases are increasingly affecting woodland ecosystems across the world. However, the impact of these diseases upon the soil, and in particular soil carbon, is still poorly understood. Here we present the results of a field survey of ~100 woodlands
