Nonadditive effects of decomposing mixed foliar litter on the release of several metallic elements in a Pinus massoniana Lamb. forest
Key message The mixture of decomposing litter from three predominant tree species in a Masson pine ( Pinus massoniana Lamb.) forest showed advantages in elemental cycling, and the species component identities were found to be an important

Responses of resistant and susceptible hybrid clones of Eucalyptus urophylla × Eucalyptus grandis to infection by Ceratocystis fimbriata
Key message A histopathological study using one resistant and one susceptible clone of Eucalyptus urophylla × Eucalyptus grandishybrid showed that the colonization of Ceratocystis fimbriata was limited by rapid and intense host defense responses such as closure

National scale variability in forest stand variables among regions of provenances in Spain
By Véronique Lesage On 5 May 2020 In All published articles, Data in repository, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
Key message An in-depth characterization of the forests of 10 dominant species by stand variables at national scale showed, that overall, stands growing in the southernmost regions of Spain display low regeneration. Otherwise, the relationships between stand

Predicting current and future suitable habitat and productivity for Atlantic populations of maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Aiton) in Spain
By Véronique Lesage On 17 April 2020 In All published articles, Data in repository, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
Abstract Key message By combining inventory data and spatially-continuous environmental information, we were able to develop models for Atlantic populations of maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Aiton) in Spain in order to predict suitable habitat and site index

Monitoring clearcutting and subsequent rapid recovery in Mediterranean coppice forests with Landsat time series
Abstract Key message This work analyses the rate of recovery of the spectral signal from clearcut areas of coppice Mediterranean forests using Landsat Time Series (LTS). The analysis revealed a more rapid rate of spectral signal recovery

Lack of vulnerability segmentation in four angiosperm tree species: evidence from direct X-ray microtomography observation
Abstract Key message Xylem vulnerability to drought-induced embolism did not differ between stems and petioles of four woody species (Betula pendula, Liriodendron tulipifera, Populus tremula and Olea europaea). Our results, together with data compiled from published literature,

Does microwaving or freezing reduce the losses of non-structural carbohydrates during plant sample processing?
Abstract Key message Non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) are the main form of carbon storage in broadleaved trees; precise NSC quantification is relevant to predict forest resilience. Sample microwaving before drying is considered to reduce NSC losses; however, evidence

Insect herbivory in novel Quercus ilex L. forests: the role of landscape attributes, forest composition and host traits
By Véronique Lesage On 31 March 2020 In All published articles, Data in repository, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
Abstract Key message Insect herbivory in novel Quercus ilex L. forests is a highly context- and scale-dependent process. We show that forest composition, tree height and fine-scale spatial location, as well as tree genetic relatedness and ontogeny,

Growth parameters and resistance to Sphaerulina musiva-induced canker are more important than wood density for increasing genetic gain from selection of Populus spp. hybrids for northern climates
By Véronique Lesage On 30 March 2020 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Abstract Key message New genotypes of hybrid poplars from the Aigeiros and Tacamahaca sections have great potential for increasing genetic gain from selection. The most promising traits are associated with productivity and resistance to Sphaerulina musiva -induced

Modelling soil nitrogen mineralisation in semi-mature pine stands of South Africa to identify nutritional limitations and to predict potential responses to fertilisation
By Véronique Lesage On 30 March 2020 In All published articles, Data in repository, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
Abstract Key Message Estimates of available nitrogen (based on topsoil nitrogen mineralisation rates) in semi-mature stands of Pinus radiata (D Don.) as well as pure species and hybrids of Pinus elliottii (Engelm.) in South Africa display a
