Traits Explain Canopy Tree Occurrence Along Regional Environmental Gradients: A Subset Combine to Be Useful. [PDF]
Ecol EvolOur paper addresses the problem of “How to predict where a tree can be found from its traits?” We show that wood density, bark thickness, maximum height and seed mass combine for a useful model of tree distributions. ABSTRACT Trait‐Species Distribution Models (trait‐SDM) help to understand the importance of plant strategies to niches, assess their ...

Evidence for a trade-off between growth rate and xylem embolism resistance in 22 Eucalyptus species. [PDF]
New PhytolExamples of cross‐sectional images of branchlets at 4× and 40×. Summary Within the growth–survival trade‐off framework, embolism resistance is considered a contributor to survival, yet whether greater embolism resistance inherently limits growth remains unclear.

EucaMOD: a comprehensive multi-omics database for functional genomics research and molecular breeding of fast-growing eucalyptus trees. [PDF]
Plant JSignificance Statement As eucalyptus research increasingly relies on big data, scientists have lacked a modern, integrated platform for multi‐omics analysis. We present a comprehensive eucalyptus multi‐omics database and analysis platform (EucaMOD) that unifies genomic, transcriptomic, and epigenomic data for 39 species, providing a vital resource to ...

Precocious Cone Formation Observed on a Three-Year-Old Giant Sequoia Seedling. [PDF]
Ecol EvolHere, we report a case of precocious female cone formation in a three‐year‐old giant sequoia seedling (Sequoiadendron giganteum). Given that sequoia groves are threatened by increasing frequency of high severity fire, this observation suggests that a more systematic study of the size/age of earliest reproduction in sequoia is warranted.

Direct and indirect disturbance impacts on forest biodiversity
Ecosphere, 2021 Understanding the responses of biodiversity to forest disturbance is critical for maintaining ecosystem integrity and key ecological functions. Ecological research in forests after major disturbance typically focuses on the direct responses of individual

Interacting factors driving a major loss of large trees with cavities in a forest ecosystem. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Large trees with cavities provide critical ecological functions in forests worldwide, including vital nesting and denning resources for many species. However, many ecosystems are experiencing increasingly rapid loss of large trees or a failure to recruit
