Three systems of molecular markers reveal genetic differences between varieties sabina and balkanensis in the Juniperus sabina L. range
By Véronique Lesage On 30 November 2023 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Juniperus sabina var. balkanensis, that is of hybrid origin, and its maternal progenitor J. sabina var. sabina are genetically distinct with respect to cpDNA, SNP, and SilicoDArT loci. Mostly non-overlapping distributions of the sabina and

Estimation of aboveground biomass and carbon stocks of Quercus ilex L. saplings using UAV-derived RGB imagery
By Véronique Lesage On 22 November 2023 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Crown area, sapling height, and biovolume extracted from UAV-acquired RGB images provided accurate estimates of aboveground biomass and carbon stocks in a 5-year-old holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) plantation. Our models regressing UAV-derived sapling variables

Climate-smart forest management caught between a rock and a hard place
Key message The UNFCCC COP 27 in Sharm El-Sheikh confirmed that climate policies too heavily rely on climate mitigation by forests rather than on de-fossilizing the energy system, to keep global warming within the safe 1.5 °C.
