Fagaceae tree species allocate higher fraction of nitrogen to photosynthetic apparatus than Leguminosae in Jianfengling tropical montane rain forest, China.

PLoS ONE, 2018
Variation in photosynthetic-nitrogen use efficiency (PNUE) is generally affected by several factors such as leaf nitrogen allocation and leaf diffusional conductances to CO2, although it is still unclear which factors significantly affect PNUE in ...

Woody Plant Diversity and Community Structure Along Elevational and Soil Gradients in Betula platyphylla Forests, Southeastern Tibetan Plateau

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study investigates the species composition, distribution, and diversity of Betula platyphylla forests in the Nyang River Basin in southeastern Tibet. The results show that elevation is the primary factor influencing species diversity in plant communities, with diversity indices significantly decreasing with increasing elevation.

Complex History of Organellar Introgression in Nothofagus Trees: Chloroplast and Mitochondrial Capture Facilitated by Natural Selection

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Field photograph of an ancient Nothofagus tree covered with epiphytic lichens in the Patagonian temperate rainforest. This genus serves as a key model for investigating organellar introgression and evolutionary genomics in South America. ABSTRACT Hybridization is widespread across diverse groups of organisms, and in some cases, organellar genomes of ...

Phylogenetic Diversity Outperforms Functional Diversity in Predicting Aboveground Biomass Across Tree Strata in a Subtropical Forest

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Conducted in a subtropical forest in southwestern China, this study evaluates how various dimensions of plant biodiversity regulate aboveground biomass (AGB) across forest strata under consistent edaphic and topographic conditions, addressing the insufficiently elucidated question of which biodiversity dimension most prominently impacts AGB ...

Shrubs and trees as natural insect protection for grazing animals in Switzerland and the alpine region: A systematic review of in vitro, in vivo and clinical trials Sträucher und Bäume als natürlicher Insektenschutz für Weidetiere in der Schweiz und im Alpenraum: Eine systematische Literaturübersicht über in vitro‐, in vivo‐ und klinische Studien

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 221-245, June 2026.
Biting or irritating insects are a threat to the health and welfare of grazing animals. This systematic review reveals that several shrubs and bushes growing in the alpine area have insecticidal, insect‐repellent and/or attractant properties. The alder Alnus glutinosa, juniper Juniperus communis, spruce Picea abies and walnut Juglans regia are ...

Cretaceous and Paleogene Fagaceae from North America and Greenland: evidence for a Late Cretaceous split between Fagus and the remaining Fagaceae

Acta Palaeobotanica, 2016
Modern lineages of the beech family, Fagaceae, one of the most important north-temperate families of woody flowering plants, have been traced back to the early Eocene.

Acquisitive root exploration strategies help maintain higher peak sap flux rates during summer drought, but more root biomass does not

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2933-2945, June 2026.
Summary Roots are responsible for soil water uptake, yet little is known about how variation in fine‐root traits relates to whole‐tree water movement, particularly during periods of drought. By combining a 3‐yr dataset monitoring sap flow rates with measures of fine‐root biomass, length, and morphology across 10 tree species, we addressed hypotheses ...

Study of the degree of defoliation of common oak (Quercus robur L.) in the conditions of the Main Botanical Garden named after N. V. Tsitsina RAS (Moscow)

Hortus Botanicus
When studying the harmful effects of chemical air pollutants of anthropogenic origin on forest ecosystems and, specifically, on woody plants, an important indicator is the state of the tree crown - the degree of defoliation.
