Decaying Logs Shape the Distribution of Bird‐Mediated Seed Rain in a Temperate Deciduous Forest

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Sites used by birds for perching and roosting function simultaneously as defecation points, concentrating diaspores transported via endozoochory. In contrast, the role of perching structures in shaping bird‐mediated seed rain within forest ecosystems remains poorly understood.

Ectomycorrhizal community composition and extramatrical hyphal proportion predict soil carbon stocks at the landscape scale

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2490-2505, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract While fungal composition has been linked to soil carbon at global scales, these patterns are often difficult to disentangle from broad climatic gradients and species range limits. To address this constraint, we tested which aspects of ectomycorrhizal community structure

Sanitation felling against the European spruce bark beetle: A matter of intensity and forest type Tagli fitosanitari contro il bostrico tipografo: una questione di intensità e tipologia forestale

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 382-397, August 2026.
We assess the effect of sanitation felling performed in 2022 in North‐Eastern Italy on bark beetle damage that occurred in 2023 across eight spruce forest types, as evaluated using multispectral satellite imagery. Bark beetle damage was reduced only at very high or very low sanitation felling rates.

Characteristics of 3rd (Querci-fageta s. lat.) and 4th (Fageta (abietis) s. lat.) vegetation tiers of north-eastern Moravia and Silesia (Czech Republic)

Journal of Forest Science, 2008
Detailed characteristics (tree species composition, tree representation, identification features) are presented by 3rd (i.e. geobiocenoses of Querci-fageta s. lat.) and 4th (Fageta (abietis) s. lat.) vegetation tiers in north-eastern Moravia and Silesia.

Patterns of Landscape‐Level Spread by Beech Leaf Disease in North America

Forest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Beech leaf disease (BLD) was first detected in North America in Lake County, Ohio in 2012. The disease is detrimental to beech (Fagus spp.) trees and is caused by Litylenchus crenatae ssp. mccannii, a species of nematode that is likely native to Japan.

Fagus sylvatica 'Purpurea Pendula': 'Purpurea Pendula' European Beech

EDIS, 2011
Weeping Purple European Beech is more of a shrub than a tree, growing to about 10 feet tall. Branches normally sweep up and away from the center of the tree forming a mound of foliage.

Biogeography of Bursaphelenchus Species Driven by Climate, Vectors and Hosts: Implications for Forest Pathology Under Climate Change

Forest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Wood‐inhabiting nematodes of the genus Bursaphelenchus are a group with significant ecological and economic impacts on global forest ecosystems. This review aims to update current knowledge on their spatial distribution, host‐vector associations and the factors driving species expansion under the framework of climate change.

Long‐Term Biodiversity–Stability Relationship in Temperate Mountain Forests

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Theories on ecological stability lack the long‐term observational data necessary to comprehend the dynamics of durable and complex ecosystems like forests; consequently, the influence of biodiversity on ecosystem stability remains predominantly unexplained.

Tree growth response and adaptation to climate change and climate extremes: From canopy to stem

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 2388-2415, August 2026.
This review synthesizes the responses and adaptations of tree growth, including canopy phenology, intra‐annual wood formation dynamics, and annual stem growth, to climate change and climate extremes. It highlights key knowledge gaps for future research to support sustainable forest management and enhance forest carbon storage under ongoing climate ...
