Diversity, composition, and structure of a 1-hectare tree plot in the cloud forest of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia
By Véronique Lesage On 1 July 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Data paper, Open Access
Key message We present data from a new delimited 1-ha forest plot on the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in Colombia and describe its tree diversity, composition, and structure. This data can be used in regional analyses

Interannual radial growth response of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) to severe droughts: an analysis along a gradient of soil properties and rooting characteristics
By Véronique Lesage On 14 June 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message We analyzed stem growth responses of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) to severe drought in 2003/04 and 2018. The results showed high drought tolerance in sandy, loamy, and most silty soils, with limitations on clayey

Nested plot designs used in forest inventory do not accurately capture tree species richness in Southwestern European forests
By Irène Gabriel On 27 May 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Nested plot designs with concentric plots with increasing radii and size threshold underestimate tree species richness with respect to full census sampling with no tree size restrictions. Regeneration emerged as the most relevant pool for

Whole-genome screening for near-diagnostic genetic markers for four western European white oak species identification
By Véronique Lesage On 23 May 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Mining genome-wide DNA sequences enabled the discovery of near-diagnostic markers for species assignment in four European white oaks (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl., Quercus pubescens Willd., Quercus pyrenaica Willd., and Quercus robur L.) despite their low

MYB4 is the best candidate transcription factor involved in pinosylvin stilbene biosynthesis in Pinus strobus L. cells by fungal elicitor treatment
By Véronique Lesage On 21 May 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
Key message Dihydropinosylvin monomethyl ether (DPME) and pinosylvin monomethyl ether (PME) are pinosylvin derivatives that show high nematicidal activity against pine wood nematodes (PWNs). Here, we found that fungal elicitor treatment boosted the production of DPME and

Aggregated database of forest soil chemical properties in the Czech Republic based on surveys from 2000 to 2020
By Irène Gabriel On 24 April 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Data paper, Open Access
Key message The dataset includes data from forest soil surveys conducted in the period 2000–2020. It provides soil and site variables from 8269 locations. Data are aggregated in three basic soil layers: upper organic soil horizon (FH,

Oak leaf morphology may be more strongly shaped by climate than by phylogeny
By Véronique Lesage On 19 March 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Despite been grown under the same climate, oak species are able to correlate with looser, but still identifiable, leaf morphological syndromes, composed by morphological traits with an ecological role in their respective macroclimates. Keywords Quercus;

Elevation affects both the occurrence of ungulate browsing and its effect on tree seedling growth for four major tree species in European mountain forests
By Véronique Lesage On 15 March 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message In European mountain forests, the growth of silver fir (Abies alba Mill.), sycamore maple (Acer pseudoplatanus L.), European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst.) seedlings is more strongly affected

Canopy gap impacts on soil organic carbon and nutrient dynamic: a meta-analysis
By Véronique Lesage On 15 March 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
Key message The forest canopy gaps, formed by natural or anthropogenic factors, have been found to reduce soil carbon content and increase nutrient availability. The magnitudes of these effects have been observed to increase with gap age

Inter-provenance variability and phenotypic plasticity of wood and leaf traits related to hydraulic safety and efficiency in seven European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) provenances differing in yield
By Véronique Lesage On 13 March 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
Key message Seven European beech provenances differing largely in growth performance were grown at two common garden sites in Germany and Slovakia. The intra-specific variability of most traits was explained more by phenotypic plasticity than inter-provenance variability,
