Unlocking genome-based prediction and selection in conifers: the key role of within-family prediction accuracy illustrated in maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.)
By Irène Gabriel On 28 January 2025 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Based on experimental and simulated data for maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.) in a genomic selection context, our study reveals that the often-highlighted equivalence between genome-based and pedigree-based prediction accuracies of breeding values is associated

High genetic gains in wood volume and fecundity can be both achieved by direct selection in half-sib families of Pinus yunnanensis Franch
By Irène Gabriel On 27 January 2025 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message This study demonstrates the potential of Pinus yunnanensis Franch. for multi-trait selection in breeding programs, highlighting positive co-variation of growth traits with fecundity, trunk straightness, and crown health in 16-year-old progenies. Integrated trait selection could

Ex situ germination of European acorns: data from 93 batches of 12 Quercus species
By Véronique Lesage On 20 December 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Data paper, Open Access
Key message We provide data on seedlot germination potential—a key trait related to regeneration—of 12 oak species. Germination was tested at the University of Granada following international protocols with 8985 acorns from 93 batches and 16 countries

Changes in tree-ring wood density of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), silver fir (Abies alba Mill.), and Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst.) in European mountain forests between 1901 and 2016
By Véronique Lesage On 2 December 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message We found a significant increase in the latewood density of European beech, and a decrease in the latewood and mean wood density of silver fir and Norway spruce in European mountain forests over the period

Hydraulic properties for a wide range of undisturbed and compacted French forest soils: in situ measurements and estimation with the BEST method
By Véronique Lesage On 8 November 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Data paper, Open Access
Key message The dataset provides hydraulic properties estimated using the Beerkan Estimation of Soil Transfer (BEST) method, on undisturbed and on compacted and rutted French forest soils. It allows a reliable assessment of the effect of traffic

Characterization and prediction of hydraulic properties of traffic-compacted forest soils based on soil information and traffic treatments
By Véronique Lesage On 7 November 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message The hydraulic properties of compacted and rutted soils were evaluated through in-situ infiltration experiments and predicted based on soil texture class and traffic treatments. A significant decrease in saturated soil water content and soil hydraulic

Light-demanding canopy tree species do not indicate past human disturbance in the Yangambi rainforest (Democratic Republic of the Congo)
By Véronique Lesage On 5 November 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message In a former paper, we investigated whether the presence of light-demanding tree species in the forest canopy of the Yangambi Biosphere Reserve (central Congo basin) might be a result of past human disturbances (Luambua et
