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

open access: yesScientific 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.

Comparison of wood properties of Parana pine and Scots pine

open access: yesSilva Fennica, 1977
According to the available literature, the appearance of Parana pine ( (Bertol.) Kuntze) wood resembles that of Scots pine ( L.). The anatomy is quite different, however. There are no resin canals and fusiform rays with resin canals in Parana pine.

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

open access: yesForest 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

open access: yesCentral 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.

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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

open access: yesbioRxiv, 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

Managing Uncertainty in Scots Pine Range-Wide Adaptation Under Climate Change

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Forests provide important ecosystem services and renewable materials. Yet, under a future climate, optimal conditions will likely shift outside the current range for some tree species.

Species stratification and weather conditions drive tree growth in Scots pine and Norway spruce mixed stands along Europe

open access: yesForest Ecology and Management, 2021
Mixed forests are suggested as a strategic adaptation of forest management to climate change. Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) are tree species of high economic and ecological value for European forestry.

Diplodia tip blight pathogen’s virulence empowered through host switch

open access: yesFrontiers in Fungal Biology, 2022
Increased drought combined with emerging pathogens poses an increased threat to forest health. This is attributable to the unpredictable behaviour of forest pathosystems, which can favour fungal pathogens over the host under persistent drought stress ...
