Determination of optimal tree height models and calibration designs for Araucaria araucana and Nothofagus pumilio in mixed stands affected to different levels by anthropogenic disturbance in South-Central Chile

Key message Here, we present a workflow for determining the optimal tree height model and calibration design for forests affected to varying degrees by anthropogenic disturbance. For mixed Araucaria–Nothofagus forests, tree height predictions in newly surveyed stands

Effectiveness of the spectral area index created by three algorithms for tree species recognition

Key message Tree species identification analysis of the two images (Luoyang and Hohhot of China) shows that the polygonal area indices extracted by the specific band-constrained polygon relative area (algorithm 3, obtained accuracy was ~ 13% higher

Forest age and topographic position jointly shape the species richness and composition of vascular plants in karstic habitats

Key message Dolines may provide important safe havens for many plant species and play a key role in maintaining biodiversity. The combined effects of forest age and topographic position influence the biodiversity patterns of these unique habitats.

Leaf microbiome data for European beech (Fagus sylvatica) at the leaf and canopy scales collected in a gallery forest in South-West France

Key message The datasets describe bacterial and fungal communities of European beech (Fagus sylvatica) leaves collected along a vertical gradient in a gallery forest throughout the growing season. They also describe communities in the surrounding environment of

Differences in eco-physiological responses to the removal of adventitious roots between Syzygium nervosum A. Cunn. ex DC. and Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels saplings under waterlogging

Key message The production of adventitious roots partially counteracts the negative effects of waterlogging on the growth of Syzygium nervosum A. Cunn. ex DC. and Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels. S. cumini was more responsive and suffered from

Intraspecific variation of Quercus ilex L. seed morphophysiological traits in Tunisia reveals a trade-off between seed germination and shoot emergence rates along a thermal gradient

Key message Quercus ilex populations from cold habitats display a large lag between seed germination and shoot emergence time, favouring avoidance of late frost events. Populations from mild habitats show the fastest seed germination and shoot emergence

Differential responses of phosphorus accumulation and mobilization in Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis (Carrière) J. Houz) seedlings to short-term experimental nitrogen deposition

Key message Short-term nitrogen (N) deposition stimulates phosphorus (P) demand owing to the growth improvment of Phyllostachys edulis seedlings. Increased N loads led to the acquisition and utilization of sufficient P, while the limitation of P starvation

Traceability and quality assessment of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) H.Karst.) logs: the TreeTrace_spruce database

Key message The TreeTrace_spruce database contains images and measurements of 100 Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) H.Karst.) logs from Northeastern France, each about 4.5 m long. The image database includes RGB images of large and small ends

Infestation of pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) seedlings with the pinewood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus Steiner and Buhrer (Nickle) through wood sawdust

Key message There are various pathways for infesting pine trees with the pinewood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus. As a result of the experiment, we determined that sawdust infested with the nematode can pose a phytosanitary risk. Nematodes
