Fagus grandifolia growth and mortality a decade after the emergence of Beech leaf disease

Trees, Forests and People
Beech leaf disease (BLD) is poised to cause major declines in American beech (Fagus grandifolia) across the eastern United States and parts of Canada. Given the dominance of this tree, quantifying impacts of this emerging disease is critical.

Developing Fluopyram as a Tool to Combat Beech Leaf Disease in Managed Landscapes and Nurseries [PDF]

Journal of Nematology
Beech leaf disease (BLD), caused by the anguinid nematode Litylenchus crenatae mccannii (Lcm), has recently emerged as a severe threat to beech trees (Fagus spp.) in eastern North America. In response, the scientific community has accelerated research on

Use of Microsatellite Markers in an American Beech (Fagus grandifolia) Population and Paternity Testing [PDF]

Silvae Genetica, 2010
Abstract Cross-species amplification of six microsatellite markers from European beech (Fagus sylvatica Linn) and nine markers from Japanese beech (Fagus crenata Blume) was tested in American beech (Fagus grandifolia Ehrh.). Three microsatellites from each species were successfully adapted for use in American beech and were found to be ...

Sugar Maple Litter Decay Rates Are Reduced More Strongly by Drought Than by American Beech Proliferation in the Understory [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Recurrent drought threatens high‐latitude deciduous forests in eastern North America. The decline of sugar maple (Acer saccharum) at its northern limits under additional stress imposed by changing climate regimes and its replacement by American beech ...

Leaf Damage is Not the Answer! Reduced Herbivore Pressure Does Not Underpin Either Downhill or Uphill Range Shifts. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
While many plant species are shifting their ranges uphill in response to climate change, a substantial portion of species have exhibited a downhill shift, opposite to the expected response under climate change. We tested the hypothesis that these counterintuitive range shifts may be driven by a reduction in enemy (herbivores and pathogens) pressure ...

Glyphosate treatments for managing successional dynamics in beech bark disease-affected northern hardwood forests. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
The spread of beech bark disease (BBD) in northern tolerant hardwood forests poses a significant forest management challenge. Extensive aboveground mortality in BBD-affected stands often leads to the rapid formation of high-density American beech (Fagus ...

Current distribution and coverage of Mexican beech forests Fagus grandifolia subsp. mexicana in Mexico [PDF]

Endangered Species Research, 2013
Fagus grandifolia subsp. mexicana (Fagaceae) is a taxon endemic to Mexico and is currently considered to be in danger of extinction. It dominates the canopy at the sites where it grows, forming the plant association known as Mexican beech forest. The objectives of this study were to (1) determine the area currently occupied by beech forests in Mexico ...
