Management and tree dieback alter beetle assemblage structure and body size distribution in a temperate German forest

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Forest management and climate‐induced tree dieback alter the structural characteristics of forests, which could subsequently lead to changes in the structure of beetle assemblages. Beetle assemblages in more open forests exhibited less even abundance distributions, with fewer, more dominant species (higher rates of decline (r), higher dominance (d ...

Functional memory of drought affects leaf chemical defenses and microbial interactions in aspen

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Experimental design of the common garden study. Summary Drought is an important driver of tree mortality, but its long‐term impacts on trait expression remain poorly understood. Leaves are a key interface at which trees respond to abiotic stress, and foliar traits such as chemical defenses and microbial communities may play a role in determining post ...

Extreme Polyploidy Reveals Functional Trade‐Offs in Plant Drought Responses

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Polyploidy shapes plant physiology and anatomy, yet the extent to which different ploidy levels influence drought responses remains unclear. Here, we investigated how ploidy affects cell‐level coordination and functional traits associated with water transport and retention.

From quantity to quality: the evolution of forest restoration in the United Kingdom

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Over the past century, forest cover in the United Kingdom has increased threefold. However, the pathways, achievements, and shortcomings of this expansion remain underexplored. Objectives This study analyses the drivers, implementation, and legacies of forest restoration in the United Kingdom before and after 1990, which is when ...

Assessment of Acacia Koa Forest Health across Environmental Gradients in Hawai‘i Using Fine Resolution Remote Sensing and GIS

Sensors, 2011
Koa (Acacia koa) forests are found across broad environmental gradients in the Hawai‘ian Islands. Previous studies have identified koa forest health problems and dieback at the plot level, but landscape level patterns remain unstudied.
