Foliar Pine Pathogens From Different Kingdoms Share Defence-Eliciting Effector Proteins. [PDF]
This study identified shared plant immune‐activating effectors between pine pathogens Dothistroma septosporum, Cyclaneusma minus and Phytophthora pluvialis, which could aid in developing broad‐spectrum disease resistance. ABSTRACT Dothistroma needle blight, Cyclaneusma needle blight and red needle cast are devastating foliar pine diseases caused by the

Silent invaders: the hidden threat of asymptomatic phytobiomes to forest biosecurity. [PDF]
Summary Populations of diverse, unknown, and potentially pathogenic fungi and fungus‐like organisms are continuously introduced into new locations via asymptomatic infections (e.g. as endophytes or latent pathogens) within internationally traded live plants.

Capturing red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris) on camera: A cost-effective approach for monitoring relative abundance and habitat preference. [PDF]
Monitoring animal populations is crucial for effective conservation. However, resources are often limited, which necessitates the development of rapid and reliable survey methods. We demonstrate how motion‐activated cameras can be used to measure the relative abundance and habitat preference of red squirrels across a range of woodland habitats ...

Light Limitation and Foliar Pathogenic Infection Impact Phloem Anatomy and Function in Pinus radiata D. Don. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Phloem plays a major role in plant physiology, health and growth. However, little research has addressed the impact of biotic and abiotic stressors on phloem structure and development. This study extends recent interest on stress impact on phloem to further understand its physiological limits by exploring a common combination of stressors ...

Patterns of Dothistroma septosporum conidial dispersal in Colombian Pinus tecunumanii plantations
Abstract Dothistroma needle blight (DNB) caused by Dothistroma septosporum is one of the most important needle diseases of Pinus spp., especially in Southern Hemisphere plantations. In Colombia, the pathogen has caused severe outbreaks in plantations of Pinus tecunumanii of the low elevation population (LE). Currently, management strategies suffer from

We used the Spanish Forest Inventory (covering c. 30 years) to quantify carbon storage and sequestration of natural forests and plantations of native and non‐native trees under contrasting climate types, while controlling for the effects of environmental factors (forest structure, climate, soil, topography, and management).

Plantation clear‐fell patches benefit heathland arthropods
Early plantation growth stages support heathland arthropod assemblages. Arthropod assemblages in early growth stages primarily differed from heathland in the additional presence of generalist species. Appropriate consideration of growth stage configuration across full rotations should be applied to increase the value of plantation landscapes for ...

‘Can't see the forest for the trees’: The importance of fungi in the context of UK tree planting
Tree planting now forms a major part of the UK climate mitigation strategy, with targets to increase the forest cover from the current 13% to 17%–20% by 2050. We highlight four key reasons why fungi should be considered in tree planting strategies, with a following seven policy recommendations to maximise the carbon sequestration and biodiversity ...

The pine needle pathogen Lecanosticta acicola has been introduced into Europe on several separate occasions with human activity supporting the pathogen's onwards spread from already established European populations into new areas. Abstract Lecanosticta acicola is a pine needle pathogen causing brown spot needle blight that results in premature needle ...
