Potential distributions of seven sympatric sclerophyllous oak species in Southwest China depend on climatic, non-climatic, and independent spatial drivers
By Véronique Lesage On 15 January 2021 In All published articles, Data in repository, Research paper
Key message An ensemble modelling approach was performed to predict the distributions of seven sympatric sclerophyllous oak species in the Hengduan Mountains of Southwest China. Spatial eigenvector filters revealed missing factors in addition to commonly used environmental

Modeling size-density trajectories of even-aged ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.) stands in France. A baseline to assess the impact of Chalara ash dieback
By Véronique Lesage On 13 January 2021 In All published articles, Data in repository, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
Key message A piecewise polynomial function already used to represent the size-density trajectories of pure even-aged stands of beech, oak, and Douglas-fir proved its ability to represent the size-density trajectories of a new species, ash. The widespread

Accounting for competition in multi-environment tree genetic evaluations: a case study with hybrid pines
By Véronique Lesage On 11 January 2021 In All published articles, Data in repository, Research paper
Key message A novel multi-environment competition individual-tree mixed model resulted in better fit, and greater individual narrow- and broad-sense heritabilities than the model without competition, notably for traits showing competition. In multi-environment tests, the proposed model would

Secondary metabolites in leaves of hybrid aspen are affected by the competitive status and early thinning in dense coppices
Key message Non-selective thinning of a hybrid aspen coppice stands via corridor or cross-corridor cutting impacts residual trees differently depending on their competitive status. Suppressed residual trees’ metabolic profile indicates increased stress level, especially after cross-corridor thinning.

Does recent fire activity impact fire-related traits of Pinus halepensis Mill. and Pinus sylvestris L. in the French Mediterranean area?
By Véronique Lesage On 17 November 2020 In All published articles, Data in repository, Research paper
Key message Climate change will induce a change in fire frequency in Mediterranean region and that could impact fire-adapted plant species. We showed that fire-related traits of some pine species are strongly related to other factors than

Drought responses and their effects on radial stem growth of two co-occurring conifer species in the Mediterranean mountain range
By Véronique Lesage On 4 November 2020 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Patterns of stem radial variations showed that Cedrus libani A. Rich. was less limited by summer drought than co-occurring Juniperus excelsa M. Bieb. Cedrus libani recovered faster from tree water deficit and showed significantly higher

Climate-growth relationships for Aspidosperma tomentosum Mart. in South American tropical dry forests
By Véronique Lesage On 12 October 2020 In All published articles, Data in repository, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
Key message The precise demarcation and cross-dating of tree rings in Aspidosperma tomentosum Mart., a valuable timber species in the tropical dry forests of South America, were used to develop the first well-replicated chronology covering the period

Competition overrides climate as trigger of growth decline in a mixed Fagaceae Mediterranean rear-edge forest
Key message In recent decades, there has been a decline in growth in a rear-edge broadleaf forest of Fagus sylvatica, Quercus petraea, and Quercus pyrenaica. Although temperatures have been rising due to climate change, the observed decline

First evidence for allotriploid hybrids between Juniperus thurifera and J. sabina in a sympatric area in the French Alps
By Véronique Lesage On 29 September 2020 In All published articles, Data in repository, Research paper
Key message Discovery of the first case of allotriploid juniper in a wild population in the French Alps where the parental species occurs in sympatry. Abstract Context Interspecific hybridization and polyploidy are important evolutionary phenomena in vascular

Age effect on tree structure and biomass allocation in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and Norway spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst.)
By Véronique Lesage On 14 September 2020 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Tree structure equations derived from pipe model theory (PMT) are well-suited to estimate biomass allocation in Scots pine ( Pinus sylvestris L.) and Norway spruce ( Picea abies [L.] Karst.). However, age dependence of parameters
