Quantifying intra-annual dynamics of carbon sequestration in the forming wood: a novel histologic approach
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 20 June 2019 In All published articles, Data in repository, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
This study presents a novel histologic approach to quantify the intra-annual dynamics of carbon sequestration in forming wood. This innovative approach, based on repeated measurements of xylem apparent density, is more direct, and more accurate than the

Hardwood injury and mortality associated with two shot hole borers, Euwallacea spp., in the invaded region of southern California, USA, and the native region of Southeast Asia
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 19 June 2019 In All published articles, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
We assessed the impact of the polyphagous shot hole borer (PSHB), Euwallacea whitfordiodendrus (Schedl), and Kuroshio shot hole borer (KSHB), E. kuroshio Gomez and Hulcr, on hardwood trees in southern California, southwestern China, and northwestern Vietnam. The

The relation between pressure–volume curve traits and stomatal regulation of water potential in five temperate broadleaf tree species
In the five temperate tree species, leaf turgor loss point and the stringency of stomatal regulation are not related to each other and to the drought sensitivity of radial growth, suggesting that additional factors exert a large

Impacts of climate change on the gross primary production of Italian forests
The impact of climatic change should not be dramatic over Italian forests in terms of GPP, which should increase particularly for evergreen forest types. This positive effect is less marked for deciduous forests. The increasing trend should

New special issue: Establishment of second-growth forests in human landscapes: ecological mechanisms and genetic consequences
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 11 June 2019 In Editorial news, For authors, Special issue/Topical collection
We are launching the special issue “Establishment of second-growth forests in human landscapes: ecological mechanisms and genetic consequences”. This special issue will gather articles arising from the ERA-NET BiodivERsA3 research project “Unraveling the Potential of Spontaneous Forest

Using synthetic semiochemicals to train canines to detect bark beetle–infested trees
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 7 June 2019 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
The dog detection allows timely removal by sanitation logging of first beetle-attacked trees before offspring emergence, preventing local beetle increases. Detection dogs rapidly learned responding to synthetic bark beetle pheromone components, with known chemical titres, allowing search
