Recurrent hot droughts cause persistent legacy effects in a temperate Scots Pine forest

open access: yesPlant 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.

No legacy effects of severe drought on carbon and water fluxes in a Mediterranean oak forest

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
A Mediterranean Quercus ilex forest was severely affected by a drought in 2017 but fully recovered in the following year, supported by favourable weather and growing conditions both before and after the event. Abstract Severe droughts affect vegetation through several processes, such as hydraulic failure, early leaf senescence, depletion of carbon ...

A dynamic epigenetic perspective on above‐ and belowground phenotypic responses to drought: Insights from global DNA methylation in Erodium cicutarium

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Our factorial experimental design investigates the relationships between DNA methylation, plant development and individual fitness under stress in Erodium cicutarium. We found that epigenetic modifications associated to 5‐azacytidine seed treatment desynchronized plant growth and delayed flowering.

Heat treatment duration affects in vitro‐induced photosynthetic impairment and development of necrotic leaf tissue in three Mediterranean oak species

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Longer lasting heat treatment durations induced photosynthetic impairment at lower temperatures and caused the development of proportionally more necrotic tissue at lower temperatures in leaves of three Mediterranean oak species. Abstract Short heat treatments are commonly used to estimate the leaf‐level thermal tolerance of tree species. The effect of

Ungulate responses to the addition of silicate rock powder in acidified oak (Quercus robur) forests at the Veluwe, the Netherlands

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Addition of silicate rock powder (SRP) is an increasingly used measure to restore vegetation and fauna on acidified mineral‐poor soils in protected areas. In theory, however, the positive effects of SRP addition on vegetation may be offset by grazing and browsing ungulates attracted to higher‐quality forage.
