Shaping future forests: how can ecophysiology support climate‐smart forest management?

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2778-2813, June 2026.
Summary Climate change, particularly the associated increase in extreme events and disturbances, threatens the numerous environmental, social, and economic benefits that forests provide, both locally and globally. Heat and drought pose significant risks to forest ecosystems; the anticipated future climate is expected to exacerbate this trend ...

High climatic niche stability across life stages in Swiss forest tree species

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.
Do Swiss trees change their niche as they grow? Studying 43 species across Switzerland, we found that most don't! Juveniles and adults share similar climatic niches, with ontogenetic shifts being small and still seemingly unrelated to climate change.

Detection of Heat and Drought Effects on the Photosynthetic Activity Using Solar‐Induced Chlorophyll Fluorescence and a Photochemical Reflectance Index in a Cool‐Temperate Larch Forest in Japan

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 3, May 2026.
Solar‐induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) and gross primary productivity decline at midday during a short heatwave in a tower site of a larch forest. High atmospheric vapor pressure deficit significantly reduced the photochemical reflectance index (PRI), light‐use efficiency (LUE), and canopy fluorescence emission efficiency (εF).

Altitudinal Variation of Flavonoid Content in the Leaves of and the Needles of on Mt. Fuji

Natural Product Communications, 2015
Ultraviolet-B radiation is harmful to plants, and its intensity increases at altitude. So plants growing at high altitude possess UV protection systems. Flavonoid is known as a major UV protectant because it absorbs UV radiation and scavenges UV-induced ...

Short-term physiological responses of Larix kaempferi seedlings to spring warming and drought manipulation

Forest Science and Technology, 2021
Excessively high temperatures and droughts after winter dormancy can affect the physiological responses of plant seedlings. In the present study, an open-field experiment was conducted to investigate the impact of spring warming and drought treatments on

Phylogenetic and Population Genetic Analysis Decipher the Taxonomic Consistency on Cryptic Betula costata Trautv. (Betulaceae) Populations in Japan and the Process on Its Divergence and Isolation

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 3, May 2026.
Betula costata, a deciduous broad‐leaved tree habits in the cool‐cold temperate forests in East Asia, is an ideal species for studying the persistence of relict plants. Although cryptic populations of this species have been reported in central Japan in recent years, species delineation of them using molecular evidence has not been undertaken.

On the Black Digestion of Larix Kaempferi Sarg.(II)

JAPAN TAPPI JOURNAL, 1955
1) For the reasons that when no season as wood meals of the heart wood in Karamatsu digestion occurs more vigorously than a long time seasoning (12months), the author stated that seasoning the digestion starts from galactose-2 bisulfite compound and when a long time seasoning digestion starts from galactose-bisulfite compound.2) The main factors by ...

Mapping the next forest generation reveals multiple regeneration gaps across German forests

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 3, March 2026.
Our study provides the first nationwide, high‐resolution assessment of forest regeneration, offering a valuable baseline for monitoring forest development. The regeneration density and indicator maps enable forest managers and policymakers to identify regeneration deficits, prioritise adaptive management interventions and contribute to the development ...

Relationship Between Testosterone and Movement Patterns in Male Asian Black Bear (Ursus thibetanus)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Comparisons of mean fecal testosterone metabolite concentrations (mFTM) and behavioral variables between the breeding (May–July) and post‐breeding (August–November) seasons. The asterisks indicate significant differences. ABSTRACT In male mammals, reproduction and reproductive behavior are strongly influenced by testosterone. While some species exhibit

Above‐ and below‐ground trait coordination across 90 angiosperm and gymnosperm tree species in a common garden experiment

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 1, January 2026.
This research highlights the significance of elucidating the mechanisms behind above‐and below‐ground organs. The varying trait coordination across clades indicates different resource acquisition strategies above‐ and below‐ground, highlighting the need to consider large‐scale phylogenetic relatedness to better understand plant fitness.
