During inventories of lesser-known timber species in eastern Gabon, a new Dialium morphospecies was discovered. To discriminate it from the two other 2–5 leaflets Dialium species, 25 leaf traits were measured on 45 trees (16 Dialium pachyphyllu...

Secondary metabolites are ubiquitous substances occurring naturally in trees and microorganisms. They are produced in various metabolic pathways which determine their structure and biochemical proprieties. However, the biological functions of many se...

Slash pine (Pinus elliottii Engelmann) is a pine species widely cultivated for its high oleoresin production capacity. However, little is known about the underlying molecular mechanism of oleoresin biosynthesis between high and low oleoresin-yielding...

Plant community formation is determined by plant competition, while the water uptake depth of vegetation is regarded as a critical factor in maintaining species coexistence under competition. However, the source variation of montane plant water uptak...

“Interspecific associations” refers to the interrelationship among different species in a particular spatial distribution, which plays an important role in species distribution, community assembly, and responses to environmental changes....

The course of the bark beetle-vectored fungus, Leptographium terebrantis S. J. Barras and T. J. Perry, in stemwood growth loss of declining pines in the southeastern United States was assessed in a 13-year-old loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) plantatio...

Common beech is a shade-tolerant tree species that can adapt to varying light intensities at the level of whole plants, crown fragments, and individual leaves. The acclimation abilities of the morphological, physiological, and biochemical characteris...

Forest fires are highly unpredictable and extremely destructive. Traditional methods of manual inspection, sensor-based detection, satellite remote sensing and computer vision detection all have their obvious limitations. Deep learning techniques can...

The taiga forest, a semi-arid and nitrogen-limited ecosystem on permafrost, has changed under extreme wet events. This study aims to understand the changes that occurred in a larch forest in Eastern Siberia after the wet event of 2006–2007. In...

Triadica sebifera (Linnaeus) Small is a tree species native to China. The seeds of T. sebifera are rich in oil and are widely used in industrial fields. To explore the genetic diversity and genetic differentiation of T. sebifera germplasm resources,...
