Viral Transmission Between Heterobasidion parviporum Strains in Wood Billets and Decaying Stumps

open access: yesForest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The combined use of Heterobasidion partitiviruses HetPV13‐an1 and HetPV15‐pa1 is considered a promising biocontrol approach against Heterobasidion root and butt rot. Both viruses mediate debilitating effects in many Heterobasidion isolates and are transmitted efficiently in laboratory conditions.

Harnessing Genomic Information for Identifying the Geographic Origin of Five North American Tree Species in Trade

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Genomic tools for traceability of wood products offer a powerful tool to support sustainable forestry, fight illegal logging, and improve conservation efforts. Traditional identification methods (e.g., wood anatomy, spectroscopy) are limited in resolution or scope, but genomic approaches can infer both species identity and geographic origin ...

Landscape Context and Environmental Stochasticity Shape Genetic Management Outcomes in an Amphibian

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Landscape context can influence demographic rates and, consequently, the population genetic processes determining levels of genetic diversity. However, the role of landscape context is not always sufficiently considered in conservation management.

Impacts of Atmospheric and Soil Droughts on Carbon and Water Fluxes in Northern European Coniferous Forests: Evidence From Eddy‐Covariance Data

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
Atmospheric and soil droughts were assessed using the SAMI and SSMI indices at northern European coniferous forest eddy‐covariance (EC) sites, and ecosystem responses were evaluated from EC flux data. The results show that soil droughts have been rare, while air moisture limitations on carbon and water fluxes occur more frequently. Atmospheric droughts

High radiosensitivity in the conifer Norway spruce (Picea abies) due to less comprehensive mobilisation of protection and repair responses compared to the radiotolerant Arabidopsis thaliana

open access: yesPlant Stress
Risk assessment and protection of plant communities in contaminated ecosystems require in-depth understanding of differential sensitivity to chronic ionising radiation in plants.

Temperate Forest Floors: Ecosystem Hubs in Transition?

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
The forest floor (FF) is a key component of carbon, nutrient, and water cycling and represents the most biologically active part of forest soils. Despite its importance, its response to environmental change and forest management remains insufficiently studied.

A Forest Dark: An Evolutionary History of Norway Spruce

open access: yes, 2020
Embedded within the relationships among species is a dense forest of gene trees, each with a potentially unique and discordant history. Such widespread genealogical heterogeneity is expected, but embracing this hierarchy of discordance while reconstructing the histories of populations and species remains a major challenge. In this thesis, I studied the

Long‐Term Biodiversity–Stability Relationship in Temperate Mountain Forests

open access: yesJournal 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.
