Fagus grandifolia growth and mortality a decade after the emergence of Beech leaf disease
Trees, Forests and PeopleBeech 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.

Tree regeneration trends in forests of the northeastern USA and their implications for resilience and restoration. [PDF]
Ecol ApplAbstract Tree regeneration is vital to shaping characteristics of future forests, including vulnerability to climate change; resilience to pests, pathogens and disturbance; and departure from historical species composition. We used data from nationwide forest inventory plots to investigate trends in sapling abundance and recruitment as well as tree ...

Adaptive silviculture for climate change in North American forests: Operationalizing the resistance-resilience-transition framework. [PDF]
Ecol ApplAbstract The impacts of global climate change have compelled forest managers to evaluate their practices and ecosystems, considering when and how to resist change, promote resilience, or facilitate transitions. Forest adaptation has made significant strides to move from theory to practice over the last two decades, with widespread examples of ...

Comparisons of protein profiles of beech bark disease resistant and susceptible American beech (Fagus grandifolia). [PDF]
Proteome Sci, 2013 Abstract Background Beech bark disease is an insect-fungus complex that damages and often kills American beech trees and has major ecological and economic impacts on forests of the northeastern United States and southeastern Canadian forests. The disease begins when exotic beech scale insects feed on the bark of trees,

Insect herbivores increase mortality and reduce tree seedling growth of some species in temperate forest canopy gaps [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Insect herbivores help maintain forest diversity through selective predation on seedlings of vulnerable tree species. Although the role of natural enemies has been well-studied in tropical systems, relatively few studies have experimentally manipulated ...
