Weak global trade‐off between frost and drought resistance in trees
New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 2, Page 810-828, January 2026.Summary Drought and frost stresses play important roles in determining species distributions, especially at range margins. Understanding how stress resistance traits interact to determine vulnerability to climate change is critical. We developed a large global database of published and new measurements of drought resistance (xylem embolism resistance ...

Xylem Pit Anatomy and Minimum Leaf Conductance Drive Drought Mortality in Pinus pinaster
Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 1, Page 279-294, January 2026.ABSTRACT Drought‐triggered forest die‐off events are commonly attributed to hydraulic failure, carbon starvation, or a combination of the two. Nevertheless, the anatomical and physiological traits that make trees vulnerable to drought in the field are often unknown, hindering predictive efforts.

Commodity risk assessment of oak and walnut logs from the US
EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract The European Commission submitted to the EFSA Panel on Plant Health a Dossier from the United States proposing the use of a vacuum–steam–heat treatment as a stand‐alone phytosanitary measure to mitigate the risk of entry of Bretziella fagacearum, Geosmithia morbida and its vector Pityophthorus juglandis (thousand cankers disease complex) into ...

The anatomy of »blue ring« in the wood of Pinus nigra
Les, 2018 Tree-ring features are widely used to identify specific climate, environment and stress events affecting plant life. Cold temperatures can mainly affect the last phase of cell differentiation by interfering in the process of cell wall lignin deposition.
