The rooting ability of in vitro shoot cultures established from a UK collection of the common ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.) and their ex vitro surviva
By Véronique Lesage On 28 June 2022 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Shoot cultures from a population of British ash trees (Fraxinus excelsior L.) were assessed for their ability to form roots in vitro and to grow in nursery conditions. Most of the plants survived whether they

Potential soil methane oxidation in naturally regenerated oak-dominated temperate deciduous forest stands responds to soil water status regardless of their age—an intact core incubation study
By Véronique Lesage On 23 June 2022 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Potential CH4 oxidation in the top soil layer increased with decreasing soil water content in spring but was inhibited during severe summer drought in naturally-regenerated oak-dominated temperate deciduous forest stands regardless of their age. No

The Alberta Wildland Fuels Inventory Program (AWFIP): data description and reference tables
By Véronique Lesage On 22 June 2022 In All published articles, Data in repository, Data paper, Open Access
Key message This document describes a dataset obtained from a field sampling program conducted in Alberta, Canada. Field data were used to describe the structure and composition of forest stands, including several fuel loads (e.g., surface, understory,

Provenance variation and seed sourcing for sessile oak (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.) in France
By Véronique Lesage On 21 June 2022 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Sessile oak (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.) provenance variation was assessed in a multisite test based on traits of economic and ecological relevance in France. While climatic drivers generated genetic clines at a range-wide scale, provenance

Long-term and large-scale Quercus petraea population survey conducted in provenance tests installed in France
By Véronique Lesage On 21 June 2022 In All published articles, Data in repository, Data paper, Open Access
Key message Provenance tests are invaluable resources in forest genetics and ecology. They were originally established for seed sourcing research, but they are now also used for monitoring and predicting population responses to environmental changes. They have

Nitrogen deposition causes eutrophication in bryophyte communities in central and northern European forests
By Véronique Lesage On 8 June 2022 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Our results indicate that nitrogen deposition is likely to adversely affect forest bryophyte communities, having negative impacts in terms of increased dominance of nitrophilic species at the expense of N-sensitive species and a decrease in

Stand development stages and recruitment patterns influence fine-scale spatial genetic structure in two Patagonian Nothofagus species
By Véronique Lesage On 2 May 2022 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Nothofagus alpina (Poepp. et Endl.) Oerst. and Nothofagus obliqua (Mirb.) Oerst forests have strong fine-scale spatial genetic structures. The intensity of genetic structure patterns differed according to species, stand development stages, life stages, and spatial

Spruce (Picea abies L.) planting leads post-clearcut bird assemblages to a novel successional pathway—a comparative study in hemiboreal mixed forests
By Véronique Lesage On 25 April 2022 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Bird assemblages in planted spruce (Picea abies L.) forests were compositionally distinct from those in naturally regenerated mixed stands. Despite rapid stand development on productive soils, even-aged silviculture cannot host most old-forest species. However, their

Responses to defoliation of Robinia pseudoacacia L. and Sophora japonica L. are soil water condition dependent
By Véronique Lesage On 21 April 2022 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Defoliation significantly affected biomass allocation of Robinia pseudoacacia L. and Sophora japonica L., but leaf physiology readjusted to control levels at the end of the experiment. Considering carbon or sink limitation and relative height growth

Recolonization by Indigenous broadleaved species of a conifer plantation (Cupressus spp.) in Northern Iran after 25 years
By Véronique Lesage On 15 April 2022 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message A vegetation analysis revealed the extent of recolonization by native vegetation of a 25-year-old Cupressus spp. plantation in northern Iran. A young indigenous Quercus-Carpinus community replaced the conifers in the low-slope areas with deeper, heavier,
