Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 1, January 2025.Despite their strategic importance as biodiversity hotspots and water sources, montane ecosystems are among the most neglected conservation areas. In particular, the monitoring and management of invasive alien plants in this critical biome is limited.

Global Change Biology, Volume 30, Issue 3, March 2024.Forest acclimation to climate change is crucial for maintaining ecosystem resilience. Here, we propose a multi‐proxy approach based on tree rings and tree‐ring isotopes to assess the acclimation processes of the long‐term Pfynwald irrigation experiment. After 10 years of irrigation, our results showed that irrigated and control trees were acclimated to

Intra-annual to multi-decadal xylem traits in a tropical moist semi-deciduous forest of Central Africa [PDF]
, 2017 A witness of a tree’s past conditions is the wood itself. The main research question of this dissertation is how to assess and reveal the driving forces of the patterns of wood traits on pith-to-bark cross-sections in tropical trees.

Covariance and climate signals among state-of-the-art tree-ring proxies [PDF]
Tree-ring stable isotopes and wood anatomical traits emerged as powerful proxies for paleoclimate reconstructions, providing information beyond traditional ring width and wood density chronologies. However, comprehensive comparisons of these state-of-the-

Assessing the impact of greentree reservoir water management on red oak growth and anatomy in the lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley [PDF]
Bottomland hardwood forests in the Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley have significantly diminished over the past two centuries due to land clearing and hydrologic alteration.

Functional wood traits: xylogenesis, tree rings and intra-annual density fluctuations (IADFs) in Mediterranean species [PDF]
, 2017 The occurrence of long and severe summer drought periods, forecasted for the Mediterranean basin (IPCC, 2013), is expected to affect cambial activity and wood formation, thus altering tree growth and vegetation dynamics thus affecting the productivity of

Fertilisation with potato starch wastewater effect on the growth of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) forest in Poland [PDF]
Fertilisation is often used to increase plant productivity in agriculture but has also been used in forestry. In our study, Scots pine forest growing in a nitrogen-poor environment was fertilised with NPK post-production wastewater from a potato starch ...
