The relationship between Nemozoma elongatum (Coleoptera: Trogossitidae) and its primary bark-beetle prey-species
By Carla Allais On 1 December 2025 In All published articles, Non classé, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Nemozoma elongatum (Linnaeus, 1761) shows a positive response to artificially produced lures targeting its two main prey species, Pityogenes chalcographus (Linnaeus, 1761) and Taphrorychus bicolor (Herbst, 1793), with a preference for P. chalcographus. We do not recommend using these lures in traps because

Climate-change mitigation strategies at the level of a forestry company in the light of age-class legacy effects
By Carla Allais On 25 November 2025 In All published articles, Non classé, Open Access, Research paper
Key message We analyzed the future carbon balance of 47,000 ha of forests dominated primarily by Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and managed by the Szombathely Forestry Company in Hungary. Biomass, harvested wood products, and substitution effects were considered.

Rootstock effects on growth, reproduction and wood properties in hybrid larch (Larix x eurolepis Henry) and in some other Larix sp. grafting associations
By Carla Allais On 24 November 2025 In All published articles, Non classé, Open Access, Research paper
Key message When grafting is used in breeding, the choice of the rootstock should not be underestimated. Its impact on grafted individuals can be either beneficial for reducing tree size or enhancing flowering such as in seed

PDG-Arena: an ecophysiological model for characterizing tree-tree interactions in heterogeneous and mixed stands
By Carla Allais On 24 November 2025 In All published articles, Non classé, Open Access, Research paper
Key message PDG-Arena, a new individual- and process-based ecophysiological model, was developed to simulate the functioning of mixed-species forests. It was evaluated using annual growth data on beech-fir stands of the French Prealps. Keywords Process-based modeling; Mixed

Evaluating the effectiveness of climate-based seed transfer and assisted migration: a case study of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia Dougl.) and interior spruce (Picea engelmanii x glauca (Moench) Voss and their hybrids) in western Canada
By Carla Allais On 24 November 2025 In All published articles, Non classé, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Forest assisted migration applied in combination with a climate-based seed transfer system to two North American tree species: lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia Dougl.) and interior spruce (Picea engelmanii x glauca (Moench) Voss and their hybrids), resulted in

No increased drought-related mortality after thinning: a meta-analysis
By Carla Allais On 17 November 2025 In All published articles, Open Access, Review paper, Special issue/Topical collection
Key message Our meta-analysis showed that thinning of forest stands did not increase mortality following extreme drought events. There was also no higher mortality among dominant trees that are typically more exposed to irradiance after thinning. We

TRACEABILITY OF OAK (QUERCUS PETREAE (MATT.) LIEBL. AND Q. ROBUR L.) LOGS: THE BIOMTRACE DATABASE
By Carla Allais On 17 November 2025 In All published articles, Data paper, Open Access, Special issue/Topical collection
Key message The Biomtrace database contains 33,390 RGB images of the butt end cross-section of 5135 French oak logs. Each log was photographed several times with different camera orientations during an initial shooting session. For more than

Using Bursaphelenchus mucronatus to demonstrate the potential nematicidal effect of Beauveria bassiana on pine wood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) under in vivo conditions
By Carla Allais On 14 November 2025 In All published articles, Non classé, Open Access, Research paper
Key message This study demonstrates the potential of Beauveria bassiana (Bals.—Criv.) Vuill. to control Bursaphelenchus mucronatus (Mamiya and Enda), which is close to Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner and Buhrer) Nickle but is a non-quarantine pathogen and, therefore, may be used as an alternative organism

Intra-specific variation in mortality of even-aged Cryptomeria japonica (L. f.) D. Don. forests can be explained using relationships among long-term stand characteristics
By Irène Gabriel On 18 March 2025 In All published articles, Non classé, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Individual size and competition directly affected long-term Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica (L. f.) D. Don.) mortality, whereas age and site productivity indirectly affected the mortality through individual size and competition. This result suggested that there

Influence of mechanical stress on biomass allocation in three species (Pachira aquatica Aubl., Sextonia rubra (Mez) van der Werff and Simarouba amara Aubl.) with contrasting posture control mechanisms
Key message The posture control in Pachira aquatica, Sextonia rubra and Simarouba amara is achieved through contrasted mechanisms involving tensile stress in wood only, bark only or both. This study evidenced that the restoration of verticality does
