Cross-scale interaction of host tree size and climatic water deficit governs bark beetle-induced tree mortality

Michael J. Koontz et al.

Summary: The study analyzed data and found an interaction between host size and climatic water deficit, resulting in higher mortality rates for large trees in dry, warm conditions, but not in cooler or wetter conditions.

Combined progress in symptoms caused by Hymenoscyphus fraxineus and Armillaria species, and corresponding mortality in young and old ash trees

Corrie Lynne Madsen et al.

Summary: Ash dieback, caused by the fungus Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, has been spreading in Europe for over two decades, leading to decline in the health of ash trees. The disease progressed rapidly, with young stands experiencing higher levels of symptoms, while even old stands eventually showed decreased health and growth. Despite natural infection pressure, a small percentage of trees showed resistance to the disease and honey fungus.

Climate change impact on tree mortality differs with tree social status

Adrien Taccoen et al.

Summary: Changes in temperature and rainfall due to recent climate change increase the mortality rates of European temperate tree species, with dominant trees showing higher sensitivity compared to suppressed trees. Large dominant trees are particularly vulnerable to rainfall decrease, while suppressed trees are more affected by temperature increase. Overall, climate change poses a threat to both wood production and ecosystem services in European temperate forests.

Emerald Ash Borer Approaches the Borders of the European Union and Kazakhstan and Is Confirmed to Infest European Ash

Mark G. Volkovitsh et al.

Summary: The emerald ash borer (EAB), native to East Asia, is an invasive pest of ash trees in North America and European Russia. Survey in European Russia showed that EAB had spread faster and farther than previously thought, with new infested sites found in St. Petersburg and Astrakhan Province. It is possible that new enclaves of EAB can appear in Eastern Europe and Kazakhstan far from the current known range.

Spread and Severity of Ash Dieback in Switzerland - Tree Characteristics and Landscape Features Explain Varying Mortality Probability

Stefan Klesse et al.

Summary: This study provides a comprehensive overview of crown damage and mortality rates of European ash trees in Switzerland from 2009 to 2019, showing a significant increase in mortality rates since the arrival of the invasive fungus. The research confirms that mortality probability is size and growth-rate dependent, with higher mortality in smaller trees, and that humidity levels and host abundance also play a role in mortality rates. The study suggests the importance of promoting healthy big trees and fast-growing young trees for the long-term conservation of ash in Europe.
