Higher establishment of nonnative trees with increased harvest intensity in strip cuttings
(Springer, 2024-04-23)Proper management of woody ecosystems is fundamental for human livelihoods and biodiversity conservation. Strip cutting or selective harvesting are proposed as sustainable alternatives to clear-cut logging. However, their ... -
Integrating circadian and gibberellin signaling in Arabidopsis : Possible links between the circadian clock and the AtGID1 transcription
(Taylor & Francis, 2011-09)The circadian clock acts as central coordinator of plant activity, and it regulates key traits for plant fitness such as flowering time, gas exchange, growth and stress responses. In the May issue of the Proceedings of the ... -
Is local best? Examining the evidence for local adaptation in trees and its scale
(2015-10)Background: Although the importance of using local provenance planting stock for woodland production, habitat conservation and restoration remains contentious, the concept is easy to understand, attractive and easy to ... -
Prediction of hydraulic conductivity loss from relative water loss: new insights into water storage of tree stems and branches
(Wiley, 2019-04)More frequently occurring, drought waves call for a deeper understanding of tree hydraulics and fast and easily applicable methods to measure drought stress. The aim of this study was to establish empirical relationships ... -
Securing water for trees and people : possible avenues
(2011)In the context of water scarcity, threats on forest survival in drier areas, and thus of inevitable trade-off between man and nature for the use of water, this section addresses three main questions of importance for ... -
Should tree invasions be used in treeless ecosystems to mitigate climate change?
(The Ecological Society of America, 2021)Intentionally allowing or promoting invasion by non-native trees into areas characterized by treeless vegetation could contribute to climate-change mitigation by increasing carbon (C) sequestration. In some areas of the ... -
The sign and magnitude of tree–grass interaction along a global environmental gradient
(2016-12)Aim: The ecological literature posits that positive interactions are preponderant in stressful environments; however, the net balance between positive and negative interactions at the community level is still under debate. ... -
Unintended consequences of planting native and non-native trees in treeless ecosystems to mitigate climate change
(Wiley, 2024-03)Naturally treeless ecosystems are being replaced by native and non-native trees worldwide, often through deliberate afforestation using forestry tree species. By introducing species having novel traits, such as relatively ...
