The evolutionary heritage and ecological uniqueness of Scots pine in the Caucasus ecoregion is at risk of climate changes

Scientific Reports, 2021
Scots pine is one of the most widely occurring pines, but future projections suggest a large reduction in its range, mostly at the southern European limits. A significant part of its range is located in the Caucasus, a global hot-spot of diversity.

Sphaeropsis sapinea and Associated Endophytes in Scots Pine: Interactions and Effect on the Host Under Variable Water Content

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021
The ascomycete Sphaeropsis sapinea is the causal agent of the Diplodia Tip Blight disease on pines and other conifer species. This fungus has a symptomless endophytic life stage.

Growth and resilience responses of Scots pine to extreme droughts across Europe depend on predrought growth conditions

Global Change Biology, 2020
Global climate change is expected to further raise the frequency and severity of extreme events, such as droughts. The effects of extreme droughts on trees are difficult to disentangle given the inherent complexity of drought events (frequency, severity,

A review of thinning effects on Scots pine stands: From growth and yield to new challenges under global change

Forest Systems, 2017
Aim of the study: Thinning experiments in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) stands have been carried out since long in different regions of its distribution. The aim of this paper is to gather the knowledge about the thinning effects on Scots pine stands,

Importance and potential of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) in 21st century

Central European Forestry Journal, 2023
We are currently witnessing significant global changes in climate conditions. We cannot change the natural conditions, but with regard to sustainable landscape management, we can increase our knowledge of tree species and adapt forest management to them.

Timing and duration of drought modulate tree growth response in pure and mixed stands of Scots pine and Norway spruce

Journal of Ecology, 2022
Climate change is increasing the severity and frequency of droughts around the globe, leading to tree mortality that reduces production and provision of other ecosystem services.

Below Average Midsummer to Early Autumn Precipitation Evolved Into the Main Driver of Sudden Scots Pine Vitality Decline in the Swiss Rhône Valley

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022
The vitality of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) is declining since the 1990s in many European regions. This was mostly attributed to the occurrence of hotter droughts, other climatic changes and secondary biotic stressors.

Taming the massive genome of Scots pine with PiSy50k, a new genotyping array for conifer research

bioRxiv, 2021
Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) is the most widespread coniferous tree in the boreal forests of Eurasia and has major economic and ecological importance. However, its large and repetitive genome presents a challenge for conducting genome-wide analyses such
