New Strategies to Improve Sensorial Quality of White Wines by Wood Contact
Ageing wine is a common practice used in winemaking, since the quality and sensory profile increase due to the extractable compounds coming from wood, by means of barrels or chips.

Tree regeneration responds more to shade casting by the overstorey and competition in the understorey than to abundance per se [PDF]
Manipulating the overstorey is the key tool for forest managers to steer natural regeneration. Opening up the canopy does not only create favourable light conditions for tree seedling growth, but also for (competitive) understorey species.

Summary The study of seasonal xylem hydraulics has predominantly focused on embolism‐induced losses, whereas growth‐driven increases in hydraulic capacity have received little attention. We assessed the intra‐annual dynamics of xylem formation and gain of conductivity in the current‐year ring of three species with contrasting tree‐ring structure ...

Euonymo nanae-Quercetum roboris Pînzaru, Sfeclă & Cantemir – ass. nova in the Republic of Moldova
This article describes the mesohygrophilous (mesophilous) forests of Quercus robur L. with Euonymus nanus M.Bieb., occurring in the floodplains of small rivers within the intercolline valleys of the Central Moldavian Plateau and the Dniester Plateau ...

Summary Stomatal closure prevents significant water losses during drought events. Yet, leaves are not perfectly hermetic and dehydration ensues through residual water losses, known as minimum conductance (gmin), which is highly relevant since it informs on the water depletion dynamics under stress.

The peculiarities of water metabolism of the leaves of English oak (Quercus robur L.) and red oak (Quercus rubra L.) in pure and mixed groups were examined. Twelve-year-old forest plantations of both species on an area of 1.6 ha were the object of study.

Provenance legacies override species effects in shaping oak rhizosphere microbiomes and metabolomes
Graphical representation of experimental setup. Quercus spp. seeds were collected at two origins: upper Rhine basin (URB) and north German lowland (NGL). Summary As climate change drives more frequent drought‐heat extremes, selecting drought‐tolerant trees is crucial for future forest resilience. However, the role of tree–microbial associations remains

Biting or irritating insects are a threat to the health and welfare of grazing animals. This systematic review reveals that several shrubs and bushes growing in the alpine area have insecticidal, insect‐repellent and/or attractant properties. The alder Alnus glutinosa, juniper Juniperus communis, spruce Picea abies and walnut Juglans regia are ...

Deciphering codon usage patterns in six Quercus genome
Codon usage bias (CUB) affects translation efficiency and accuracy, but genome-wide CUB patterns in Quercus (a genus of ~ 450 ecologically vital species) remain uncharacterized, with prior studies limited to chloroplast genomes.
