Asymmetric introgression between Pinus sibirica and Pinus pumila in the Aldan plateau (Eastern Siberia) [PDF]

Silvae Genetica, 2018
Abstract Pinus sibirica and P. pumila are Asian five-needle pines with vast geographic distributions that are partially overlapping. Natural hybrids with intermediate morphology have been found previ­ously, but there is a lack of evidence of ongoing introgression.

Droughts Are Not the Likely Primary Cause for Abies sibirica and Pinus sibirica Forest Dieback in the South Siberian Mountains

Forests, 2022
Background. Since the mid-20th century, massive dieback of coniferous forests has been observed in the temperate and boreal zones across North America and Northern Eurasia. The first hypotheses explaining forest dieback were associated with industrial air pollution (acid rain).

Tree growth response and adaptation to climate change and climate extremes: From canopy to stem

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 2388-2415, August 2026.
This review synthesizes the responses and adaptations of tree growth, including canopy phenology, intra‐annual wood formation dynamics, and annual stem growth, to climate change and climate extremes. It highlights key knowledge gaps for future research to support sustainable forest management and enhance forest carbon storage under ongoing climate ...

Alpine flora of Kashmir Himalaya: floristic assessment, life history traits and threat status

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.
Alpine ecosystems in the Himalaya are considered to be at a higher risk to anthropogenic global change drivers. The Kashmir Himalaya, located in the north‐western side of the Himalayan biodiversity hotspot, harbors a diverse alpine flora, which remains systematically little investigated.

The complete chloroplast genome sequences of Pinus sibirica Du Tour [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA Part B, 2018
The complete nucleotide sequence of Pinus sibirica Du Tour chloroplast genome (cp DNA) was determined in this study. The cpDNA was 116,635 bp in length, containing a pair of 473 bp inverted repeat (IR) regions (IRa and IRb), which were separated by large and small single-copy regions (LSC and SSC) of 63,908 and 51,781 bp, respectively.

Glacial refugia, postglacial dynamics, and hybrid zones of Pinaceae in Eurasia captured from sedimentary ancient DNA

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Boreal forests cover nearly one‐third of global forest area. Glacial cycles have shaped the distribution and connectivity of modern Pinaceae genera, yet species‐level refugia, postglacial migrations, and hybridization patterns remain unclear due to limited high‐resolution taxonomic and temporal data. We applied a hybridization capture approach

Species identity and spatial scale drive context‑dependent tree diversity effects in a Finnish forest experiment

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Tree species diversity is known to affect tree growth and leaf traits, which in turn can influence various ecosystem processes. However, the reported direction of these tree diversity effects is inconsistent, indicating that their outcomes depend strongly on ecological context.

Monitoring Brown Bears in Kazakhstan: A Pilot Study from the Altai Mountain Region

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Here, we present results from the first camera trapping operation designed to detect brown bears in the Altai Mountain Region of Kazahstan and highlight some lessons learned from the pilot study. Our study was conducted at a relatively local scale but represents a first step towards understanding the presence of brown bears and other mammals in a ...

Ecological and morphological studies in the hybrid zone between Pinus sibirica and Pinus pumila

Annals of Forest Research, 2007
In the Baikal Region, there is no phenological isolation between Siberian stone pine (P. sibirica Du Tour) and Siberian dwarf stone pine (P. pumila (Pall.) Regel) since the timing of their 'flowering' coincides. Morphologically intermediate individuals, supposedly natural hybrids,occur not very often.

Uncovering the Key Factors Influencing Phytochemical and Phytopharmacological Properties During Medicinal Plant Processing

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
From farm to pharma, this review details the engineering of quality in medicinal plants through a science‐driven approach: it first elucidates how genetic and environmental factors inscribe the plant's phytochemical and phytopharmacological profile before harvest, and then dissects the postharvest techniques and technologies—chemical and thermal pre ...
