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 ...

Effects of habitat quality and fine‐scale spatial structure on epiphytic lichen and bryophyte communities

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 3, March 2026.
Host‐tree identity, particularly bark physico‐chemical traits, emerged as the dominant driver of epiphytic lichen and bryophyte community composition in this closed‐canopy temperate forest system, while microclimate plays a subordinate role. Spatial structure and proximity contributed additional effects for both groups, but for lichens, habitat ...

Century‐long trends in plant diversity of temperate mountain vegetation are modulated along elevation gradient

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 3, March 2026.
Resurvey studies in mountain forests of the Tatra Mountains (Central Europe) show that plant diversity has increased over the past century, particularly at lower elevations. These shifts were associated more with increased nitrogen deposition and reduced grazing pressure than with direct climate warming.

Distinct diversity trajectories of boreal wood‐inhabiting fungi following fire versus clear‐cutting

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 3, March 2026.
Retaining high deadwood volumes and structural complexity can help maintain fungal diversity in managed forests, however maintaining old‐growth stands is essential for conserving highly diverse communities and red‐listed species. Different disturbance regimes create distinct successional pathways for boreal wood‐inhabiting fungi, with unmanaged fire ...

Contrasting Patterns of Local Adaptation and Adaptive Potential Under Climate Change for Old‐Growth and Planted Stands of Norway Spruce (Picea abies)

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Genetic diversity is a key prerequisite for adaptation to changing environments. Maintaining genetic diversity in forest trees is crucial amid climate change, given their long generation times. Forest management practices can affect the genetic diversity of forest ecosystems through selective felling or reforestation strategies following ...

Asymptotic and numerical analysis of a porous medium model for transpiration-driven sap flow in trees

, 2017
We develop a 3D porous medium model for sap flow within a tree stem, which consists of a nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation with a suitable transpiration source term. Using an asymptotic analysis, we derive approximate series solutions for

Interactive Effects of Drought and Shading on Boreal Stream Metabolism and Algal Biomass in Experimental Mesocosms

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Boreal catchments are experiencing intensified land‐use and climate change simultaneously, yet these stressors are seldom addressed in conjunction. It is expected that exposing multiple stressors on an ecosystem will have interactive effects, and here we aimed at testing the effects of drought and loss of shading on stream ecosystem ...
