Climate Change Projected to Increase Rates of Background Tree Mortality Across Eastern North America

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
Background tree mortality is the ambient, natural death of trees that occurs without major disturbances. Using data from more than 24,000 forest plots across Canada and the United States, we found that warmer temperatures are linked to higher background tree mortality for many common tree species in eastern North America.

Identification of Genes Relevant to Pesticides and Biology from Global Transcriptome Data of Monochamus alternatus Hope (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) Larvae. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Monochamus alternatus Hope is the main vector in China of the Pine Wilt Disease caused by the pine wood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus. Although chemical control is traditionally used to prevent pine wilt disease, new strategies based in biological ...

Epidemiology of Diplodia Shoot Blight Outbreaks in Pine Forests After Hailstorm Events

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.
The analysis of Diplodia shoot blight outbreaks in pine stands following hailstorms showed that the disease seems to follow a monomolecular model, with 80% of canopy damage occurring within 40 days after the hail event. Low accumulated precipitation in the days preceding the hailstorm appeared to predispose stands to outbreaks.

Soil Pathobiome in Agroecosystems and Forests

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.
This review synthesises current knowledge on the soil pathobiome across agroecosystems, horticulture, and forests, highlighting how climate change and intensive management disrupt microbial communities and promote pathogen accumulation. It emphasises soil health as a key component of the One Health framework, linking ecosystem, plant, animal, and human

Systematic review of modelling approaches assessing eradication and containment measures for the pinewood nematode (PWN) Bursaphelenchus xylophilus

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract This Scientific Opinion reviews existing models that assess eradication and containment strategies of the pinewood nematode (PWN) Bursaphelenchus xylophilus. The objective was to characterise modelling approaches, validation data and methods used to investigate possible interventions.

Transcriptomic Profiling Reveals Differentially Expressed Genes Associated with Pine Wood Nematode Resistance in Masson Pine (Pinus massoniana Lamb.)

Scientific Reports, 2017
Pine wilt disease caused by pine wood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, PWN) is a severe forest disease of the genus Pinus. Masson pine as an important timber and oleoresin resource in South China, is the major species infected by pine wilt disease ...

Long‐term demography and spatial genetic structure reveal mechanisms of Sassafras albidum population persistence through clonality

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Premise Vegetative regeneration is a key mechanism of woody plant persistence in forest ecosystems, and the coupled roles of basal sprouting and clonal growth in shaping long‐term population dynamics have been understudied. Basal sprouting replaces stems at fixed ramet locations, whereas clonal growth via root suckering produces spatially ...

Biological Pesticides as Viable Alternative to Synthetic Pesticides for Sustainable Agriculture and Nutrition: A Systematic Review

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The overuse of synthetic pesticides in agriculture has raised significant environmental and health concerns. Biopesticides have emerged as viable, environmentally compatible alternatives. However, recent comprehensive reviews integrating all biopesticide categories and emphasizing their contribution to synthetic‐pesticide‐free and health‐safe ...
