Turgor loss point explains climate‐driven growth reductions in trees in Central Europe
Plant Biology, EarlyView.Leaf turgor loss point of native tree species shows a high predictive power over the observed growth anomalies in Central Europe during the extensive drought period between 2018 and 2020. Abstract As climate change thrives, and the frequency of intense droughts is affecting many forested regions, a mechanistic understanding of the factors conferring ...

Mixing oak and pine trees in Mediterranean forests increases aboveground hydraulic dysfunctions
Plant Biology, EarlyView.Mixing oak and pine trees enhances hydraulic impairments of all species, although diversity can mitigate drought stress during extended drought periods. Abstract Increasing tree species diversity in Mediterranean forests could reduce drought‐induced hydraulic impairments through improved microclimate and reduced competition for water.

The importance of Silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) in comparison to spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) and oak (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.) for arboreal Heteroptera communities in Bavarian forests [PDF]
, 2005 Heteropteran communities in the canopies of Silver fir (Abies alba) and spruce (Picea abies) were studied at three lowland and three mountainous sites throughout Bavaria using flight-interception traps.

Plant Biology, EarlyView.Early‐season hot drought in Scots pine limits growth and productivity but improves resilience to late‐season drought through reduced water use. Abstract Tree responses to drought are well studied, but the interacting effects of drought timing on growth, water use, and stress legacy are less understood.

Plant Biology, EarlyView.Functional traits can explain significant tree growth reductions in response to the 2018–2020 drought for a wide set of 71 species including angiosperms and gymnosperms. Moreover, four distinct response types emerged: ‘Sufferer’, ‘Late sufferer’, ‘Recoverer’ and ‘Resister’, with gymnosperms predominately appearing as ‘Sufferer’ and ‘Late sufferer ...

BROAD-SENSE HERITABILITY FOR SEEDLING CHARACTERS AND ITS IMPORTANCE FOR BREEDING IN SCOTS PINE
Süleyman Demirel Üniversitesi Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi Fen Dergisi, 2009 : Number of cotyledons, lengths of hypocotyl and epicotyl, and height of three-month seedlings, and height and root collar diameter of one year seedlings grown from sixteen clones of a Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) seed orchard were investigated in ...

Growth allocation and stand structure in Norway spruce stands [PDF]
, 2005 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 ...

Positive mixture effects in pine–oak forests during drought are context‐dependent
Plant Biology, EarlyView.Mixture effects in drought‐stressed pine‐oak forests are context‐dependent, with Gambel oak and ponderosa pine benefiting from their complementarity under semi‐arid conditions. Abstract The increasing severity and frequency of droughts will play a pivotal role in shaping future forest ecosystems worldwide.

Recurrent hot droughts cause persistent legacy effects in a temperate Scots Pine forest
Plant Biology, EarlyView.A series of hot drought events caused persistent legacy effects in a Scots Pine forest, with severe negative impacts on ecosystem carbon fluxes. Abstract Recent hot‐dry events have caused significant impacts and legacy effects in temperate ecosystems. Here, we investigate legacy effects of the 2018 hot drought on a Pinus sylvestris L.
