Genetic structure of the European white elm (Ulmus laevis Pall., Ulmaceae) in Switzerland
By Irène Gabriel On 25 September 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Populations of the European white elm (Ulmus laevis Pall.) in Switzerland can be considered natural. They show no evidence of genetic differentiation from other European populations. In the past, the U. laevis populations were probably

The rates of starch depletion and hydraulic failure both play a role in drought-induced seedling mortality
By Irène Gabriel On 9 August 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message The elapsed times to deplete starch concentrations and to reach a null hydraulic safety margin were related to tree seedling mortality under experimental drought. Starch concentration showed an accelerated decline across all species during the

Exploring the role of plant hydraulics in canopy fuel moisture content: insights from an experimental drought study on Pinus halepensis Mill. and Quercus ilex L.
By Irène Gabriel On 9 August 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Understanding the impact of extreme drought on the canopy fuel moisture content (CFMC) is crucial to anticipate the effects of climate change on wildfires. Our study demonstrates that foliage mortality, caused by leaf embolism, can

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
