Rethinking common gardens for forest tree species in the face of climate change

Key message Maintaining forest resilience under climate change depends on understanding genetic adaptation and preserving diversity. Long-term common garden networks are essential for revealing how species and populations perform across life stages and environments. When strategically designed

Forest stand descriptions from the French Soil Quality Monitoring Network: repeated surveys (2006–2024) and documented silvicultural management

Database Key message A new database of forest stand characteristics from forest sites (583 sites) within the French Soil Quality Monitoring Network (RMQS) is now available. Covering two campaigns (2006–2007 and 2024), it includes descriptive stand-level data

Edge presence and orientation drive wind-induced mortality in Swedish forests

Research paper Key message Newly created forest edges, particularly those facing westerly winds, substantially raise the risk of wind damage in Swedish forests. Taller and spruce-dominated stands are more vulnerable. Integrating edge orientation and harvest timing into

Temporal and species-dependent variation in foliar monoterpene compositions of conifers under spruce budworm defoliation

Research paper Key Message No induced herbivory effect under defoliation by Eastern spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana Clemens) was detected in young conifer saplings, but a marked difference among species—balsam fir (Abies balsamea (L.) Mill.), white spruce (Picea glauca [Moench] Voss),

Effects of crown transparency on phloem formation and metabolomic profiles in Pinus sylvestris L. co-occurring with Juniperus communis L. at a drought-prone site

Research paper Key message Increasing crown transparency shortens phloem production in co-occurring Pinus sylvestris L. and Juniperus communis L. and shifts carbon allocation from growth to defense metabolism in Pinus sylvestris L.. Keywords Forest ecology; Crown defoliation; Phloem phenology; Carbon allocation; Scots pine; Juniper Publication

Facing prolonged uncertainty: how is forest planning evolving? Insights from the French state forests

Research paper Key message This study shows how climate change profoundly reshapes forest planning routines. Based on a French state forest case study, it demonstrates a shift from rigid, long-term planning toward adaptive planning built on shorter

Predicting old-growth structures in temperate small-scale private forests using landscape data

Research paper Key message  Old-growth forest structures in small-scale private forests are strongly shaped by landscape context and can be reliably predicted using freely available spatial data. Remnant forest patches within mixed cultural landscapes act as important

Long-term seed bank storage reveals interspecific variation in seed longevity of native Rhododendron species in Korea

Research paper Key message  We evaluated the seed storability of three native Korean Rhododendron species (Rhododendron micranthum Turcz., R. mucronulatum Turcz., and R. schlippenbachii Maxim.) under storage seed bank conditions. Although the three species were classified as bearing orthodox seeds, our analysis revealed a

Correction factors can overcompensate log-transformation bias in allometric biomass models

Research paper Key message Fitting allometric biomass models using ln-ln transformation approach can produce biased estimates, as in certain conditions correction factors were shown to overcompensate the back transformation bias. However, weighted nonlinear regression approach consistently provided
