Spiders in the mosaic: How habitat heterogeneity and structure drive local spider diversity in a Mediterranean forest

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 810-826, August 2026.
We assessed alpha‐ and beta‐diversity patterns of spiders across different forests and across vegetation layers (ground, shrub, low canopy) at local spatial scales across various Mediterranean forest types. Across forests, alpha‐diversity increased with habitat heterogeneity, which also drove beta‐diversity patterns across plots .

Effect of drought on root exudates from Quercus petraea and enzymatic activity of soil

Scientific Reports, 2022
Root exudation is a key process that determines rhizosphere functions and plant-soil relationships. The present study was conducted with the objectives to (1) determine the root morphology of sessile oak seedlings in relation to drought, (2) assess root ...

In Situ GWAS in Two Range‐Edge Populations of European Beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) Identify Genetic Factors of Adaptation to Climate Change

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 15, August 2026.
ABSTRACT In forest tree populations, the timing of budbreak (TBB) depends on several factors, both environmental and genetic. The genomic architecture underlying this trait is still not fully characterized. So far, common garden experiments have highlighted a few genomic regions with little heritability, while the whole spectrum of TBB variation ...

Do stand structure and admixture of tree species affect Scots pine aboveground biomass production and stability on its natural site?

Journal of Forest Science, 2018
The paper analyses stand structure and production on two experimental forest stand series of mature pure and mixed Scots pine stands, growing on natural Scots pine sites in the Czech Republic. Sessile oak was the main admixed species.

Environmental Association Analyses in Plants and the Influence of Methodological Decisions

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 16, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change is predicted to impact existing ecological systems, leading to a requirement to improve our understanding of environmental adaptation in plants, particularly for conservation and the development of environmentally tolerant crop varieties.

Future of the Main Important Forest Tree Species in Serbia from the Climate Change Perspective

South-East European Forestry, 2014
Background and Purpose: Climate change is possibly the biggest 21st century challenge for the European forestry. Serbia is also under pressure, since the regions of South Europe and Mediterranean are expected to suffer the most.

Fine‐root trait variation in temperate trees follows arc‐shape pattern along deep soil profiles

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 3, Page 1101-1115, August 2026.
Root trait variation along the soil depth profile in four temperate tree species. Summary Roots are plants' interface with the soil, controlling access to water and nutrients. Yet, fine‐root trait variation along deep soil profiles and its functional implications remain poorly understood.

Sabadilla (Schoenocaulon officinale) as a modern green pesticide crop within a novel commercialization framework

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract The mounting health, environmental, and resistance challenges posed by synthetic insecticides have renewed interest in botanically derived “green pesticides.” Schoenocaulon officinale (sabadilla), a geophytic perennial native to Mesoamerica with >2000 years of documented insecticidal use, remains undomesticated.

Chloroplast DNA Diversity of Oak Species in Eastern Romania

Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca, 2010
The chloroplast DNA of 34 sessile oak (Quercus petraea) and 27 pedunculate oak (Q. robur) populations covering the entire natural distribution of the two oak species in Eastern Romania was investigated using four large regions of the chloroplast genome ...

Pulsed Resource Events Mediate Fluctuations in Wild Boar (Sus scrofa) Bag Records in Central Europe

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Warm spring conditions during April and May were associated with mast seeding by both oak species (Q. petraea, Q. robur) and beech (F. sylvatica). The amount of energy available for wild boar in southern Germany due to mast seeding by these three tree species was negatively associated with the number of wild boar shot and with the number of vehicle ...
