The significance of tree retention on fungal communities and below‐ground stocks 12 years after harvest of boreal forest

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
Our results indicate that a decade after tree harvesting, ectomycorrhizal fungal community assembly shifted from stochastic to deterministic environmental filtering, with higher harvest intensity driving greater community differences. Certain Cortinarius species were harvest‐sensitive, while Piloderma cinicola increased at lower retention levels ...

Identifying climatic refugia: Wet and complex habitats act as buffer for birds during severe droughts

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
Wet habitats and complex vegetation, therefore, are critical for providing stable microsites and water resources, underscoring the need to preserve and enhance the resilience of these habitats to support biodiversity during extreme events. Our study provides valuable insights for conservation strategies that should focus on identifying refugia ...

Spiders in the mosaic: How habitat heterogeneity and structure drive local spider diversity in a Mediterranean forest

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 810-826, August 2026.
We assessed alpha‐ and beta‐diversity patterns of spiders across different forests and across vegetation layers (ground, shrub, low canopy) at local spatial scales across various Mediterranean forest types. Across forests, alpha‐diversity increased with habitat heterogeneity, which also drove beta‐diversity patterns across plots .

Temporal Dynamics of Sporulation of Lecanosticta acicola in Detached Pinus taeda Needles

Forest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The timber industry in the southeastern United States relies heavily on Pinus taeda. Over the past decade, impacts from Lecanosticta acicola causing Brown Spot Needle Blight have been increasing on P. taeda. Disease spread is well documented for living needles, with conidia spreading locally and ascospores spreading long distances.

Biogeography of Bursaphelenchus Species Driven by Climate, Vectors and Hosts: Implications for Forest Pathology Under Climate Change

Forest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Wood‐inhabiting nematodes of the genus Bursaphelenchus are a group with significant ecological and economic impacts on global forest ecosystems. This review aims to update current knowledge on their spatial distribution, host‐vector associations and the factors driving species expansion under the framework of climate change.

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

Evolutionary 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

Global 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
