Responses of ectomycorrhizal fungi to changes in carbon and nutrient availability [PDF]
Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi may receive 20% of the total C fixed by their host plants and are essential components of host nutrient acquisition. As a consequence of the vast physiological diversity that exists among ECM fungi, changes in community ...

Reproductive consequences of mate retention and divorce in a short‐lived migratory passerine
In socially monogamous birds, pair‐bond duration varies across species, from single‐breeding associations to long‐lasting, multi‐year bonds. Studies of pair retention and divorce have focused on long‐lived and sedentary species rather than short‐lived and migratory species.

X-ray based tree ring analyses [PDF]
In this thesis, two x-ray based dendro-analyses (batch-wise microdensitometry and energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence (EDXRF)) and the conditions under which these methods could be used on the two typical boreal conifers Norway spruce (Picea abies (L ...

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

Long‐term effects of clear‐cutting forestry on ectomycorrhizal fungi in boreal forest
Summary Clear‐cutting is detrimental to ectomycorrhizal fungi in a short time perspective, but long‐term effects on species richness and community composition are uncertain. To evaluate ecological sustainability of rotation forestry, we examined to what extent communities similar to those in old forests develop within the time frame of a rotation ...

Effect of reclamation of tailings deposits chrysotile asbestos on the size of cones and seeds of scots pine [PDF]
The consequences of the application of activated sludge in the reclamation of chrysotile asbestos dumps on the size of pine cones and seeds (Pinus sylvestris L.) were analyzed. The positive role of the introduction of activated sludge on these indicators.

Provenance legacies override species effects in shaping oak rhizosphere microbiomes and metabolomes
Graphical representation of experimental setup. Quercus spp. seeds were collected at two origins: upper Rhine basin (URB) and north German lowland (NGL). Summary As climate change drives more frequent drought‐heat extremes, selecting drought‐tolerant trees is crucial for future forest resilience. However, the role of tree–microbial associations remains

Fine‐root trait variation in temperate trees follows arc‐shape pattern along deep soil profiles
Root trait variation along the soil depth profile in four temperate tree species. Summary Roots are plants' interface with the soil, controlling access to water and nutrients. Yet, fine‐root trait variation along deep soil profiles and its functional implications remain poorly understood.

Growth allocation and stand structure in Norway spruce stands [PDF]
This thesis is based on analyses of permanent sample plot data gathered over periods of 10-34 years from an experiment in which a wide range of thinning regimes, and thinnings combined with N-fertilisation, were applied to 25 even-aged Norway spruce ...

ABSTRACT After an initial evolution in a reducing environment, life got successively challenged by reactive oxygen species (ROS), especially during the great oxidation event (GOE) that followed the development of photosynthesis. Therefore, ROS are deeply intertwined into the physiological, morphological and transcriptional responses of most present‐day
