Risk factors for bark stripping damage on Norway spruce by red deer

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Norway spruce Picea abies is an economically important tree species in Europe, actively managed for forestry. Among the most negative biotic factors for growth and hence forest production is damage caused by wildlife, such as damage through bark stripping by red deer Cervus elaphus.

The effects of moose and pine density on browsing damage in Swedish pine forests

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Moose Alces alces is a culturally and economically important game species in Sweden, but their browsing on regenerating Scots pine trees Pinus sylvestris often causes extensive damage to the production and quality of timber. Forest and wildlife managers are faced with the dilemma of how to reduce damage to timber trees while also supporting moose ...

Molecular characterisation of Pinus sylvestris (L.) in Ireland at the western limit of the species distribution

BMC Ecology and Evolution
Background Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) underwent significant population declines across much of northwest Europe during the mid-to-late Holocene and was thought to have become extirpated in Ireland from about 400 AD. However, most extant populations

The contribution of wood‐inhabiting fungi and bacteria to dead wood decomposition varies along a regional climatic gradient

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Dead wood decomposition is a crucial ecological function in forests, influenced by climate and facilitated by microbial communities. While fungi are considered the primary decomposers, bacteria also contribute, interacting with fungi in both facilitative and competitive

Functional trait interactions in a human‐dominated world: Urbanization and reproduction in Eurasian red squirrels

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecological traits such as behaviour, physiology and morphology mediate an organism's interaction with its environment, and understanding their joint contribution to reproductive fitness is essential for predicting biological responses to global change.

Effects of planted European beech on the understory in Scots pine forests of Lithuania

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2014
Understanding how the planting of non-native species impacts native vegetation is of most importance for forest management, as introduced species may alter environmental conditions with respect to soil composition, light intensity, and species ...

Branching dynamics in young Scots pine. [PDF]

Silva Fennica, 1989
The development of shoot number and shoot properties was examined in successive shoot cohorts of young widely-spaced Scots pine trees ( L.) growing in a progeny trial. This was accomplished by reconstructing the branching process of the trees over a period of five years, from tree age 4 to 8.

‘Expression is power’: Gender, residual culture and political aspiration at the Cumnock School of Oratory, 1870–1900

Gender &History, EarlyView.
Abstract This article investigates the ways in which late‐nineteenth‐century students at Northwestern University's Cumnock School of Oratory mobilised elocution training and parlour performance to foster mixed‐gender public discourse. I use student publications to reconstruct parlour meetings in which women and men adapted traditions of conversational ...
