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 ...

Plant Biology, EarlyView.This study demonstrates the potential of the Sentinel‐1 Dual Polarimetric Radar Vegetation Index, combined with climate variables and the Standardized Precipitation–Evapotranspiration Index, to effectively detect and monitor drought‐induced stress in temperate broadleaf deciduous forests.

Forecasting Forest Vulnerability to Drought in Pyrenean Silver Fir Forests Showing Dieback
Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2020 Forest dieback is manifested as widespread loss of tree vigor, growth decline and high mortality rates. Forest dieback is becoming increasingly frequent and extended, particularly in drought-prone regions.

Drought legacy in mature spruce alleviates physiological stress during recurrent drought
Plant Biology, EarlyView.The slow recovery of leaf area in mature spruce following a long‐term drought alleviated physiological stress during recurrent drought. Abstract Forest ecosystems are facing severe and prolonged droughts with delayed recovery, known as “drought legacy”.

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.

Plant Biology, EarlyView.Root water uptake strategies vary among temperate tree species (European beech, Douglas fir, and Norway spruce), with beech–conifer mixtures altering water uptake depths, while site conditions and temporal dynamics further shape the contribution of different soil depths to water supply.

Occurrence of Phytophthora citrophthora on Syringa vulgaris in Poland
Acta Mycologica, 2014 Phytophora citrophora was isolated from dieback shoots, base of diseascd stems and top parts of lilac plants during 3 vegetation periods. The species was detected from about 75% of analysed plant parts.

The use of mycoviruses in the control of forest diseases [PDF]
, 2016 Producción CientíficaFifteen families of mycoviruses have been described and 80% of these catalogued. However, their evolutionary relationship with fungi is not clear.

Recurrent hot droughts cause persistent legacy effects in a temperate Scots Pine forest
Plant Biology, EarlyView.A series of hot drought events caused persistent legacy effects in a Scots Pine forest, with severe negative impacts on ecosystem carbon fluxes. Abstract Recent hot‐dry events have caused significant impacts and legacy effects in temperate ecosystems. Here, we investigate legacy effects of the 2018 hot drought on a Pinus sylvestris L.
