The Transboundary Reach of the Columbia River: Cottonwood Colonization Followed Flow Moderation From the Columbia River Treaty Dams

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 4, Page 837-850, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The Columbia river provides the largest Pacific outflow in the Western Hemisphere and the greatest hydropower production of any North American river system. For hydropower generation and flood risk management, four massive water storage reservoirs followed the Columbia River Treaty between Canada and the United States, with three Canadian dams,

Exorcizing Divergence in Tree‐Ring Density Along the Rocky Mountains

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Briffa et al. (1998), https://doi.org/10.1038/35596 published a seminal paper on the reduced sensitivity of annual tree growth to temperature across Northern Hemisphere treeline stands. By averaging tree‐ring chronologies to sub‐continental means, they found decade‐long trends in maximum latewood density (MXD) progressively diverging from ...

Internal physiological drivers of leaf development in trees: Understanding the relationship between non‐structural carbohydrates and leaf phenology

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1151-1164, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant phenology is crucial for understanding plant growth and climate feedback. It affects canopy structure, surface albedo, and carbon and water fluxes. While the influence of environmental factors on phenology is well‐documented, the role of plant intrinsic factors ...

Host preferences of non‐native Acalolepta aesthetica (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) on the Island of Hawaiʻi

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 149-159, May 2026.
Acalolepta aesthetica is a non‐native cerambycid established on the Island of Hawaiʻi. We show its preferred hosts are woody species that are highly valued for agricultural, horticultural and cultural uses. We used a resource selection function to estimate host preferences and found that kukui (Aleurites moluccanus), the state tree, was preferred ...

Chemical changes of polysaccharides in heat-treated European beech wood

Journal of Wood Science
This work deals with the influence of different heat treatment temperatures (140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190, 200, and 210 °C) on changes in sapwood and red heartwood of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.). According to the results of wet chemistry methods,

Artefacts Associated With Cryogenic Vacuum Distillation Do Not Compromise Plant Source Water Extraction From Soil and Xylem for Isotope Analysis

Ecohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 3, April/May 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the oxygen and hydrogen isotopic composition (δ18O and δ2H values, respectively) of plant source water is fundamental for tracing water uptake in ecohydrological studies. However, discrepancies between cryogenic vacuum distillation (CVD)‐extracted soil and xylem water and known plant source water δ18O and δ2H values continue to ...
