Demographic and Structural Variability Modulate Growth Dynamics in European Beech Primary Forests
Climate change is increasing drought and heat stress on European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), causing widespread tree vitality losses and growth declines across Europe. Using a large tree ring network from montane primary beech forests, we found that trees of various ages and sizes respond differently to climate warming, leading to contrasting within ...

Opportunistic Recharge Enhancement in Arid and Semi‐Arid Regions
Groundwater supplies are increasingly stressed by climatic trends and multiple competing uses, especially in dryland environments. We propose opportunistic recharge enhancement (ORE) as a cross‐disciplinary, scalable framework to augment groundwater supplies by strategically integrating recharge co‐benefits into existing land and water management ...

Radiocaesium in the fungal compartment of forest ecosystems [PDF]
Fungi in forest ecosystems are major contributors to accumulation and cycling of radionuclides, especially radiocaesium. However, relatively little is known about uptake and retention of 137Cs by fungal mycelia.

Reduced snow cover at the alpine treeline: resistance and recovery of saplings
Summary At high elevations, tree saplings and shrubs are usually protected by mid‐winter snow cover, although climate change is expected to extend the snow‐free (SF) period. Exposure to winter drought, freeze–thaw events and freezing temperatures will therefore increase, inducing damages to the hydraulic system and to living cells, resulting in reduced

Summary Plants and soils have been moved around the world for centuries, but invasive mushrooms receive scant attention. The Amanita muscaria species complex was introduced to South Africa in the context of forestry, but its origins, ecology and recent evolution are unstudied. We sequenced the genomes of 24 Northern and Southern Hemisphere A. muscaria,
