Community dynamics of lignicolous lichens on standing deadwood in a 275‐year chronosequence

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Dead trees provide discrete habitat patches in which patch quality changes gradually due to wood decomposition. Although in most cases these patches persist for not more than a few decades, in some ecosystems deadwood decomposition and the consequent change in habitat patch quality can be a centuries‐long process, potentially leading to dynamics of ...

Host tree preference and performance of the Eurasian spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus) on Scots pine

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 6, Page 5850-5860, June 2026.
Ips typographus showed lower reproductive output in an occasional host (Pinus sylvestris) under laboratory conditions, and did not prefer its main host (Picea abies) over P. sylvestris in two‐choice bioassays. Abstract BACKGROUND The Eurasian spruce bark beetle, Ips typographus, is one of the most serious pests of Norway spruce (NS, Picea abies), with ...

Soil Physical Properties in Estimating the CO2 Emissions in Drained Peatland Forests

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Peatland drainage aims at enhancing tree growth by improving soil aeration and nutrient availability through the lowering of water table, but it also accelerates peat decomposition and increases CO2 emissions. CO2 emission estimates of drained peatlands are typically based on surface‐level measurements, whereas studies on peat decomposition ...

Fertilization influences overyielding through dominance of species with high specific leaf area in young tree mixtures

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1755-1775, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In the context of anthropogenic eutrophication of the biosphere, understanding the impact of nutrient addition on plant diversity–productivity relationships remains a major challenge.

An overview of the geobotanical structure of Turkish pinus sylvestris and carpinus betulus forests

open access: yes, 2008
Pinus L. and Carpinus L. are the two widely distributed genera of higher plants being represented by 80 and 170 species respectively. The former has 5 species in Turkey and latter 2 species namely; P.pinea, P.halepensis, P.brutia, P.sylvestris, P.nigra ...

Red‐listed species under threat: Unexpectedly high deadwood thresholds for their presence in managed boreal forests

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
We show that deadwood volume is a reliable, taxon‐specific indicator of the presence of red‐listed bryophytes and fungi but not lichens. By explicitly focusing on threatened species and deriving statistically defined thresholds from managed boreal forests, our study provides empirical benchmarks that go beyond commonly used biodiversity indicators. The

Uncovering temporal patterns of wildlife activity, habitat use and habitat preference from camera‐trap data

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 6, Page 1880-1895, June 2026.
Abstract An understanding of habitat use and levels of active behaviour is foundational to wildlife behaviour, ecology, conservation and management. These variables are commonly measured by tracking individuals in space and time using biologging. In principle, camera‐trap data also contain information about both activity level and habitat use; however,
