Genome-wide analysis of evolution and expression profiles of NAC transcription factor gene family in Juglans regia L.
Key message NAC transcription factors may play important roles in the biological processes in Persian walnut. A total of 102 JrNAC s were identified in Persian walnut. The conserved domains, transcriptome profile, expression analysis, and interaction network

Social sciences have so much more to bring to climate studies in forest research: a French case study
Key message Faced with wicked problems such as climate change, managers of complex forest social-ecological systems require more than experimental sciences alone. Yet, mitigation and adaptation studies underuse social sciences in forest research, as shown here with

Tree potential growth varies more than competition among spontaneously established forest stands of pedunculate oak (Quercus robur)
By AFS On 28 August 2020 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
Key message Analyses of dendrochronological data from 15 recently established tablished stands of pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) revealed that functions describing potential tree growth in the absence of neighbours varied more between stands than functions describing

Morphological variation of fine root systems and leaves in primary and secondary tropical forests of Hainan Island, China
Key message In older, unlogged rainforest of Hainan Island, China, leaves of saplings were larger, and fine root systems of saplings were thicker with fewer root tips than in historically logged areas. These results were consistent among

Recruitment of a genotyped Quercus robur L. seedling cohort in an expanding oak forest stand: diversity, dispersal, and performance across habitats
By AFS On 28 August 2020 In All published articles, Data in repository, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
Key message Few studies have linked the origin of dispersed tree seeds with their post-dispersal fate. We show that habitat-dependent mortality in a pedunculate oak ( Quercus robur L.) seedling cohort reshapes the effective fecundity of individual

Ancient forest statistics provide centennial perspective over the status and dynamics of forest area in France
Key message Centenary forest statistics informing major attributes of French forests were digitized, checked for consistency, and used to infer forest dynamics. Comparison to forest inventory data highlights increases in forest area and tree diversity, and substantial
