Canopy Definitions Shape Canopy Space Filling–Productivity Relationships: Evidence From Terrestrial Laser Scanning

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
The spatial arrangement of trees and their branches within the canopy is crucial for light interception, often resulting in a positive relationship between canopy space filling and stand productivity. To date, there is no universal definition of canopy space.

Current Protections and Future Threats to Say's Spiketail Habitat in the Southeastern USA

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Dragonflies and damselflies are important indicators of ecological integrity and environmental quality but remain underrepresented in conservation efforts, in part due to a lack of quantitative information regarding their habitat requirements. Species distribution models (SDMs) can facilitate conservation planning by allowing researchers to estimate ...

Ash seedlings in a reciprocal transplant experiment—the extent of damage of mature forest stands affects ash offspring performance

open access: yesFrontiers in Forests and Global Change
In past decades, ash dieback has caused a rapid decline of European ash (Fraxinus excelsior) in temperate forests of Europe. Numerous studies focus on mitigating the negative impacts of ash dieback to forest ecosystems or identifying resistant genotypes.

Meteorology and geography, more than biological traits, drive variation in frog phenology across decades

open access: yesEcology, Volume 107, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The fate of a species is a function of interacting environmental and biological processes. Disentangling the roles and interactions of such processes can elucidate the breadth of possible responses to global change, for instance, the potential for phenotypic plasticity or trait evolution to rescue populations from climate change.

How can ecosystem services scenarios inform forest planning?—Seven lessons from Leanachan Forest, Scotland

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1233-1247, May 2026.
Abstract There are growing societal expectations that forests are managed for multiple benefits including carbon storage, biodiversity, health and recreation. Consequently, forest managers are increasingly expected to consider how external factors, including climate change, affect the future of their forests and the wider public benefits they provide ...
