Masting Breakdown in European Beech Reduces Fitness Benefits of Masting, Partly Explained by Climate Change

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Synchrony and inter‐annual variation in annual seed production of European beech (Fagus sylvatica) strongly declined over time, resulting in a masting breakdown. As a consequence, predation rsik for seeds strongly increased, while pollination success declined.

Unexpected presence of Fagus orientalis complex in Italy as inferred from 45,000-year-old DNA pollen samples from Venice lagoon

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007
Background Phylogeographic analyses on the Western Euroasiatic Fagus taxa (F. orientalis, F. sylvatica, F. taurica and F. moesiaca) is available, however, the subdivision of Fagus spp.

Harnessing Foresters' Engagement for Climate Change Adaptation: The Emerging Tool of Next‐Generation Citizen Science

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
With a continent‐wide transplant experiment that engages over 300 forester‐citizens across 23 European countries, we highlight the untapped potential of citizen science that engages citizens with specialized knowledge to overcome context‐dependence in ecological experiments—an urgent need in times of exacerbating climatic and global changes.

Early Physiological and Transcriptomic Responses of Container‐Grown Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L. ‘Sierra’) to Partial Substrate Replacement With Biochar

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Biochar has been widely investigated for its potential to improve substrate properties and plant performance, offering a potential partial replacement for peat in soilless cultivation amid declining peat availability. However, information on its short‐term physiological and molecular effects during the early establishment of container‐grown ...

Natural selection and climate change: temperature-linked spatial and temporal trends in gene frequency in Fagus sylvatica

, 2006
Rapid increases in global temperature are likely to impose strong directional selection on many plant populations, which must therefore adapt if they are to survive.

Towards weather‐based forecasting of annual seed production in six European forest tree species

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Synthesis and applications: Seed production can be predictable with a promising degree of accuracy for six European tree species in the year prior to seed rain, if combined with on‐site monitoring of seeds, phenology, and weather. This holds value for seed harvesters, nurseries and forest managers, and may inform orchard management and public health ...

Changes of photosynthetic traits in beech saplings (Fagus sylvatica) under severe drought stress and during recovery

, 2007
In the context of an increased risk of extreme drought events across Europe during the next decades, the capacity of trees to recover and survive drought periods awaits further attention.

Same damage, different story: Vertical decoupling of herbivore abundance and beech herbivory across forest layers

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study shows that the relationship between herbivore abundance and herbivory can be decoupled across vertical forest layers through resource dilution, challenging the assumption that more herbivores result in more per‐leaf damage. The effects of woody plant diversity and structure on beech herbivores depend on whether a stratum functions as a ...
