Top-down control of herbivory by birds and bats in the canopy of temperate broad-leaved oaks (Quercus robur) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The intensive foraging of insectivorous birds and bats is well known to reduce the density of arboreal herbivorous arthropods but quantification of collateral leaf damage remains limited for temperate forest canopies.

Long‐Term Changes in Evapotranspiration in Once‐Degraded Mountain Catchments: Insights From 93 Years of Data on Forest and Soil Recovery and Climate Change Effects

open access: yesHydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 4, April 2026.
Long‐term data (1930–2022) from the Shirasaka Experimental Watershed revealed that evapotranspiration did not consistently increase throughout the 20th century, despite significant recovery of forests and soils following historical anthropogenic degradation.

Herbarium Specimens Provide Evidence for the Early Introduction of Erysiphe quercicola Into the United States and Document New Hosts

open access: yesForest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The powdery mildew fungus Erysiphe quercicola (Erysiphaceae) has a complex taxonomic history that has long complicated assessments of its geographic distribution and host associations. Although knowledge of the global host range of this species has expanded substantially over the past two decades, sequencing‐confirmed records from North ...

Near-Infrared Spectroscopy for Moisture Content Measurement of Newly Fallen Deciduous Leaves: A Comparison of Partial Least Squares Regression and Random Forest with Wavelength Importance

open access: yesSpectroscopy Journal
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) was applied to measure the moisture content (MC) of newly fallen deciduous leaves from four broadleaf tree species, namely Zelkova serrata (Keyaki), Quercus serrata (Konara), Quercus acutissima (Kunugi), and Fagus ...

Phylogeographic and Potential Distribution of Wild Apricot (Prunus armeniaca) in Xinjiang: Insights From Chloroplast/Nuclear DNA and Ecological Niche Modeling

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study employed integrated analyses of chloroplast DNA and nuclear genes, which revealed significant divergence in genetic structure between the two genomic compartments in Xinjiang wild apricots, reflecting complex evolutionary processes influenced by natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow. Population history analyses indicated an absence

Production rate of pollen grains of castanea crenata in a quercus serrata secondary forest [PDF]

open access: yes
The production rate of pollen grains of Castanea crenata in a secondary Quercus serrata forest was determined in 1990-1993, based on the number of pollen grains per male catkin and annual fall rate of male catkins. The latter parameter was measured using

Macrofungal diversity of urbanized areas in southern part of Korea

open access: yesJournal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2020
Most macrofungi are cosmopolitan, occurring in both tropical and temperate regions. Studies on diversity and distribution of the mushroom flora in Korea are mainly conducted in major national parks and forest, but there are few studies on species ...

Adjacent Forests Enhance Spontaneous Revegetation and Phylogenetic Similarity on Mountainous Roadside Slopes: Implications for Ecological Restoration and Forest Edge Management

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
The native‐dominated vegetation on roadside slopes primarily originates from adjacent forests, with long‐distance dispersal traits enhancing spontaneous colonization in these disturbed environments. The species composition and phylogenetic similarity between slope and forest communities are significantly influenced by the adjacent forests (species ...
