Does the legacy of historical thinning treatments foster resilience to bark beetle outbreaks in subalpine forests?

Jenna E. Morris et al.

Summary: Promoting ecological resilience to increasing disturbance activity is a key management priority under warming climate. Historical thinning treatments had minimal effect on resistance to bark beetle outbreaks, but they leave persistent legacies in shaping post-outbreak successional trajectories.

Do bark beetle outbreaks amplify or dampen future bark beetle disturbances in Central Europe?

Andreas Sommerfeld et al.

Summary: Bark beetle outbreaks have intensified in forests globally, with uncertain impacts on future forest development. Research suggests that bark beetle outbreaks, influenced by climate change, alter forest structure and composition, but increased diversity can mitigate future disturbance activities.

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 drought and bark beetle attacks deplete non-structural carbohydrates and promote death of mature pine trees

Nadir Erbilgin et al.

Summary: The research showed that only trees that were both root-trenched and attacked by bark beetles depleted carbohydrates and died during the first year of attacks. Live trees contained higher carbohydrates than dying trees, but levels of diterpenes did not vary between the two groups. This suggests that reallocation of carbohydrates to diterpenes during early stages of beetle attacks is limited in drought-stricken trees, and combination of biotic and abiotic stress leads to tree death.

Production of complementary defense metabolites reflects a co-evolutionary arms race between a host plant and a mutualistic bark beetle-fungal complex

Aziz Ullah et al.

Summary: Intraspecific variation in conifers has been studied in terms of defense against herbivores and pathogens, showing the influence of different compounds on insects and microbes. Research on biologically relevant defense compounds among tree populations is necessary. Variation in lodgepole pine monoterpenes was characterized in a progeny trial, revealing different effects on the mountain pine beetle and its fungal symbiont. The study highlights a co-evolutionary arms-race resulting in complementary defense metabolites among pine populations to enhance tree survival.

Combining QTL Mapping and Transcriptomics to Decipher the Genetic Architecture of Phenolic Compounds Metabolism in the Conifer White Spruce

Justine Laoue et al.

Summary: Conifer forests worldwide are increasingly vulnerable to climate change, leading to the need to understand the genetic basis of the production of phenolic compounds (PCs). This study identified key genes and genetic markers associated with PCs production in white spruce, shedding light on the complex polygenic network underlying this trait. The findings represent a significant step towards unraveling the genomic architecture of PC production in spruce and provide insights into the transcriptional networks responsible for differences in constitutive production of PCs in conifers.

Constitutive and inducible chemical defences in nursery-grown and naturally regenerated Norway spruce (Picea abies) plants

Line Nybakken et al.

Summary: Naturally regenerated Norway spruce plants were found to have stronger chemical defenses compared to nursery-grown plants, with higher concentrations of phenolic compounds and lower concentrations of terpenes. However, treatments such as wounding or MeJA did not significantly affect whether plants were attacked by pine weevils. Further research is needed to understand the importance of plant age, stress level, genetic origin, and resource availability for the chemical defense mechanisms of young Norway spruce plants.

Seasonal variation in Norway spruce response to inoculation with bark beetle-associated bluestain fungi one year after a severe drought

Petter Ohrn et al.

Summary: In 2018, a significant number of Norway spruce trees were killed by the spruce bark beetle in Sweden, due to severe drought stress rather than the availability of defenseless storm-felled trees. The outbreak continued in 2019 and 2020, with twice as many trees killed each year as in 2018. The study aimed to quantify the seasonal variation and potential lag-effects in tree defense capacity following severe drought stress. Inoculation with a bark beetle-associated bluestain fungus showed that tree defense capacity correlated positively with cumulative precipitation levels two months before inoculation.

How drought stress becomes visible upon detecting tree shape using terrestrial laser scanning (TLS)

Martin Jacobs et al.

Summary: This study introduced a new method for efficiently monitoring tree vitality, focusing on changes in tree shape due to drought stress in Norway spruce and European beech. The results showed that drought stress led to smaller crown size, reduced height growth, increased crown transparency, and changes in crown roughness. Additionally, the study found significant differences in crown projection area, height increment, and crown roughness between trees under drought conditions and those in normal growing conditions.

Storage of carbon reserves in spruce trees is prioritized over growth in the face of carbon limitation

Jianbei Huang et al.

Summary: This study shows that when trees are faced with limited photosynthesis, they prioritize carbon allocation to storage over growth. Additionally, trees under negative carbon balance increase the turnover rate of starch, lipids, and amino acids to support respiration and mitigate stress.

Phenotypic plasticity in plant defense across life stages: Inducibility, transgenerational induction, and transgenerational priming in wild radish

Mar Sobral et al.

Summary: As plants develop, they may reallocate their antiherbivore defense traits due to changing costs and benefits. Herbivory triggers genome methylation in targeted plants and their offspring, leading to direct induction of physical defenses in progeny by mother plants with effects lasting from seedling to reproductive stages. Transgenerational priming was observed in physical and chemical defenses, particularly in adult plants, indicating differences in transgenerational plasticity in response to herbivore offense across plant life stages.

Improvement of Ips typographus catches in pheromone trap barriers by altering of sex assigned pheromone blends

Miroslav Blazenec et al.

Summary: This study investigated the use of pheromone trap barriers with different pheromone mixtures to target males and females separately, aiming to increase catch efficacy and reduce dispersion of attracted bark beetles. Results showed that the combination of mixtures targeting males and females had the highest catch rate and lowest dispersal, proving to be effective in reducing the risk of attack on trees.
