Genetic structure of the European white elm (Ulmus laevis Pall., Ulmaceae) in Switzerland
By Irène Gabriel On 25 September 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Populations of the European white elm (Ulmus laevis Pall.) in Switzerland can be considered natural. They show no evidence of genetic differentiation from other European populations. In the past, the U. laevis populations were probably

The rates of starch depletion and hydraulic failure both play a role in drought-induced seedling mortality
By Irène Gabriel On 9 August 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message The elapsed times to deplete starch concentrations and to reach a null hydraulic safety margin were related to tree seedling mortality under experimental drought. Starch concentration showed an accelerated decline across all species during the

Exploring the role of plant hydraulics in canopy fuel moisture content: insights from an experimental drought study on Pinus halepensis Mill. and Quercus ilex L.
By Irène Gabriel On 9 August 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Understanding the impact of extreme drought on the canopy fuel moisture content (CFMC) is crucial to anticipate the effects of climate change on wildfires. Our study demonstrates that foliage mortality, caused by leaf embolism, can

Stakeholders’ participation in decreasing wildfire risk in the context of natural resource management in the Podpoľanie region of Slovakia
By Irène Gabriel On 8 August 2024 In All published articles, Open Access, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
Key message As the number and extent of wildfires are increasing due to climate change and human impacts, the demand for effective risk reduction strategies is growing. Due to limited resources or management capabilities in Slovakia, appropriate

Nested plot designs used in forest inventory do not accurately capture tree species richness in Southwestern European forests
By Irène Gabriel On 27 May 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Nested plot designs with concentric plots with increasing radii and size threshold underestimate tree species richness with respect to full census sampling with no tree size restrictions. Regeneration emerged as the most relevant pool for

Aggregated database of forest soil chemical properties in the Czech Republic based on surveys from 2000 to 2020
By Irène Gabriel On 24 April 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Data paper, Open Access
Key message The dataset includes data from forest soil surveys conducted in the period 2000–2020. It provides soil and site variables from 8269 locations. Data are aggregated in three basic soil layers: upper organic soil horizon (FH,
