Shaping future forests: how can ecophysiology support climate‐smart forest management?

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2778-2813, June 2026.
Summary Climate change, particularly the associated increase in extreme events and disturbances, threatens the numerous environmental, social, and economic benefits that forests provide, both locally and globally. Heat and drought pose significant risks to forest ecosystems; the anticipated future climate is expected to exacerbate this trend ...

Similar Relative Carbon Costs for Construction and Storage of Sun and Shade Branches in Mature Temperate Trees

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 6, Page 3351-3362, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Irradiance strongly affects the morphology, carbon (C) uptake and construction costs of leaves and branches. Within tree crowns, light decreases from the top downwards, but whether this translates to differences in the C balance of sun and shade branches remains unclear. Here, we combined a light‐driven photosynthesis model, parameterised with

Right tree, right place, right reason: Using knowledge exchange and research co‐design to explore current challenges and opportunities for sustainable urban forest management

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 871-877, May 2026.
The urban forest provides important environmental and health and well‐being benefits to people living in cities. However, sustainable management of urban trees is challenging as they face interrelated pressures from the urban environment, pests and diseases and climate change.

Effect of Thermal Treatment on the Chemical, Physical, and Mechanical Properties of Pedunculate Oak (Quercus robur L.) Wood

, 2017
Changes in the chemical composition and selected physico-mechanical properties of pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) wood samples were assessed after thermal treatment. Heat treatment was performed at 160, 180, and 200 °C in an oxidizing atmosphere.

Populationsgenetische Differenzierung beim Eichenwickler (Tortrix viridana L.) und seiner Wirtspflanze (Quercus robur L.) anhand nukleärer Genmarker [PDF]

, 2008
In Western Europe pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) is the forest tree with the highest number of phytophagous insect species (Yela & Lawton 1997). One of these, the green oak leaf roller Tortrix viridana L.

Human Disturbance but Not Predation Risk Is Associated With Increased Vigilance in Roe Deer

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 5, Page 336-348, May 2026.
Roe deer vigilance is lower in natural than in modified habitats, decreases with group size, but is not significantly influenced by stable wolf presence, suggesting habitat‐driven risk perception and reliance on spatial avoidance over increased alertness.

Turning Mediterranean Farmlands Into Priority Habitats: Natural Expansion of Juniper Woodlands After Agricultural Abandonment

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Spanish juniper woodlands are expanding across central Spain as farmland is abandoned. By combining 34 years of land‐cover data with high‐resolution photogrammetry and field measurements, we show that juniper growth depends on topography, solar exposure and competition with shrubs. High irradiance increases biomass in older stands but limits young ones,

OakEcol: A database of Oak-associated biodiversity within the UK

Data in Brief, 2019
Globally there is increasing concern about the decline in the health of oak Quercus trees. The impact of a decline in oak trees on associated biodiversity, species that utilize oak trees, is unknown.

Invasive plants optimize leaf nitrogen allocation in photosynthesis

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 3, Page 1522-1534, May 2026.
Summary Invasive plants often outcompete co‐occurring native species by expressing acquisitive functional traits that promote high photosynthetic capacity. However, it remains unclear whether these traits are newly evolved in the introduced (‘away’) range or if invaders arrived preadapted with superior traits from their native (‘home’) range.
