Survival and growth of Acacia senegal (L.) Wild. (Senegalia senegal (L.) Britton) provenances depend on the rainfall at the site of origin
By Véronique Lesage On 17 September 2021 In All published articles, Data in repository, Research paper
Key message Variation among provenances of Acacia senegal (Senegalia senegal (L.) Britton) in their survival and growth in height and diameter at two sites in Senegal could be partly explained by the climate at their site of

A new approach for predicting board MOE from increment cores
By Véronique Lesage On 16 September 2021 In All published articles, Data in repository, Research paper
Key message Increment cores can provide improved predictive capabilities of the modulus of elasticity (MOE) of sawn boards. Multiple increment cores collected at different heights in a tree provide marginally increased accuracy over a single breast-height core,

Modeling the forest dynamics of the Sierra Nevada under climate change using SORTIE-ND
By Véronique Lesage On 15 September 2021 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Model simulation results suggest that forests in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California will tend to increase in density and basal area in the absence of fire over the next century, and that climate change

Reduction of growth stresses in logs of Hieronyma alchorneoides Allemão from fast-growth plantations using steaming and heating: effects on the quality of lumber
By Véronique Lesage On 15 September 2021 In All published articles, Data in repository, Research paper
Key message Growth stresses are usually present in the fast-growing trees of forest plantations and can be evaluated along stem diameter. Growth stresses are relaxed after tree felling and during sawing and drying, and are manifested in

Characterization of stem volume and form tradeoffs in a northern red oak (Quercus rubra) breeding population in early stages of selection
By Véronique Lesage On 15 September 2021 In All published articles, Data in repository, Research paper
Key message Quercus rubra half sib progenies (N = 93) expressed high levels of variance for both growth and stem form traits in three locations in Indiana, USA at age 11 or 12. Height, diameter, and volume were measured

Phenotypic integration approaches predict a decrease of reproduction rates of Caribbean pine populations in dry tropical areas
By Véronique Lesage On 14 September 2021 In All published articles, Data in repository, Research paper
Key message The combination of structural equation modelling and linear mixed-effects models opens a new perspective to investigate trait adaptation syndromes through phenotypic integration prediction at large geographical scales, a necessary step to understand the future of

Using electrical resistivity tomography to detect wetwood and estimate moisture content in silver fir (Abies alba Mill.)
Key message Using several experimental approaches, we have demonstrated that electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) is a reliable nondestructive tool for estimating the moisture content of heartwood in situ. ERT measurements show that water pockets in heartwood (wetwood)

Genetic, geographic, and climatic factors jointly shape leaf morphology of an alpine oak, Quercus aquifolioides Rehder & E.H. Wilson
Key message Leaf symmetry and leaf size are explained by genetic variation between and within lineages and to a lesser extent by climatic factors, while leaf asymmetry can only be partly explained by geographic factors in Quercus

Trunk perimeter correlates with genetic bottleneck intensity and the level of genetic diversity in populations of Taxus baccata L
By Véronique Lesage On 29 July 2021 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Taxus baccata remnants established recently tend to contribute less to the species’ overall genetic variation than historical populations because they are subjected to a greater impact of the founder effect and genetic isolation. As tree

High nutrient supply and interspecific belowground competition enhance the relative performance of Picea mariana (Mill). B.S.P seedlings over Picea glauca [Moench] Voss. under elevated CO2
Key message We tested how nutrient supply and interspecific belowground competition affect ecophysiological and morphological responses to elevated CO2 in black ( Picea mariana (Mill). B.S.P) and white spruce ( Picea glauca [Moench] Voss.). It is found
