Evaluating the effectiveness of climate-based seed transfer and assisted migration: a case study of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia Dougl.) and interior spruce (Picea engelmanii x glauca (Moench) Voss and their hybrids) in western Canada
By Carla Allais On 24 November 2025 In All published articles, Non classé, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Forest assisted migration applied in combination with a climate-based seed transfer system to two North American tree species: lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia Dougl.) and interior spruce (Picea engelmanii x glauca (Moench) Voss and their hybrids), resulted in

Using Bursaphelenchus mucronatus to demonstrate the potential nematicidal effect of Beauveria bassiana on pine wood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) under in vivo conditions
By Carla Allais On 14 November 2025 In All published articles, Non classé, Open Access, Research paper
Key message This study demonstrates the potential of Beauveria bassiana (Bals.—Criv.) Vuill. to control Bursaphelenchus mucronatus (Mamiya and Enda), which is close to Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner and Buhrer) Nickle but is a non-quarantine pathogen and, therefore, may be used as an alternative organism

Intra-specific variation in mortality of even-aged Cryptomeria japonica (L. f.) D. Don. forests can be explained using relationships among long-term stand characteristics
By Irène Gabriel On 18 March 2025 In All published articles, Non classé, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Individual size and competition directly affected long-term Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica (L. f.) D. Don.) mortality, whereas age and site productivity indirectly affected the mortality through individual size and competition. This result suggested that there

Importance of tree basic density in biomass estimation and associated uncertainties: a case of three mangrove species in Tanzania
Aboveground and belowground tree basic densities varied between and within the three mangrove species. If appropriately determined and applied, basic density may be useful in estimation of tree biomass. Predictive accuracy of the common (i.e. multi-species) models

A new approach to prediction of the age-age correlation for use in tree breeding
Early selection in tree breeding requires a credible age-age correlation. Modelling height growth in provenance and progeny trials, we can predict age-age correlations suitable for use in operational breeding as described in this article. Abstract Tree breeding

Overview of methods and tools for evaluating future woody biomass availability in European countries
This analysis of the tools and methods currently in use for reporting woody biomass availability in 21 European countries has shown that most countries use, or are developing, National Forest Inventory-oriented models whereas the others use standwise

The impact of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) pesticide policy on the management of leaf-cutting ants and termites in certified forests in Brazil
By Erwin Dreyer On 18 April 2016 In Non classé
Letter to the Editor The recommendations accompanying pesticide derogations from the FSC are not efficient for the management of leaf-cutting ants and termites in certified forest plantations in Brazil compared with chemical control using insecticides. FSC recommendations
