Large-diameter trees and deadwood correspond with belowground ectomycorrhizal fungal richness

Joseph D. Birch et al.

Summary: Large-diameter trees have a significant impact on aboveground forest dynamics and belowground fungal communities. This study found that they have a larger influence on fungal community richness, particularly ectomycorrhizal fungi. Different fungal guilds are associated with the location, size, and species of aboveground trees.

Joint effects of climate, tree size, and year on annual tree growth derived from tree-ring records of ten globally distributed forests

Kristina J. Anderson-Teixeira et al.

Summary: The newly developed method can simultaneously model the effects of climate drivers, tree size (DBH), and calendar year on tree growth. The study shows that precipitation, temperature, DBH, and calendar year have additive or interactive effects on tree growth, with climate sensitivity often varying with tree size.

ForestGEO: Understanding forest diversity and dynamics through a global observatory network

Stuart J. Davies et al.

Summary: ForestGEO is a network of scientists and long-term forest dynamics plots that aims to advance understanding of forest diversity and dynamics, as well as strengthen global capacity for forest science research. With large-scale plot dimensions, comprehensive censusing, and investigation of various biotic and abiotic drivers, ForestGEO provides a holistic view of forest functioning. Through extensive research, ForestGEO has made significant contributions in areas such as species coexistence and diversity, and ecosystem functioning, while also highlighting the need for further research to predict the impacts of climate change and other stressors on forest diversity and function.

Modelling species presence-only data with random forests

Roozbeh Valavi et al.

Summary: This study investigates the poor performance of the random forest algorithm with default parameters in species presence-background modeling, attributing it to class imbalance and class overlap. By proposing solutions and methods to manage imbalance and overlap, the algorithm's performance is improved.

Let it snow? Spring snowpack and microsite characterize the regeneration niche of high-elevation pines

Lacey E. Hankin et al.

Summary: The study evaluates the impact of climate, disturbance, and microsite conditions on tree regeneration in high-elevation pines, indicating that different species have varying regeneration niches and responses to changing climate and disturbance conditions. The role of spring snowpack in determining the persistence of high-elevation conifers varies among species, potentially leading to compositional changes in mountainous landscapes of the western United States as snowmelt occurs earlier.

Live fast, die young: Climate shifts may favor Great Basin bristlecone pine or limber pine in sub-alpine forest establishment

Brian V. Smithers et al.

Summary: Due to climatic warming, tree species ranges are expected to move upslope, with habitat and soil moisture affecting their establishment ability. Drought severity influences growth and survival during establishment, leading to differences between limber pine and Great Basin bristlecone pine responses. The impact of asymmetric competition under different climate change scenarios suggests a complex future change in tree demographics for the Great Basin's sub-alpine forest community.

Divergent, age-associated fungal communities of Pinus flexilis and Pinus longaeva

Joseph D. Birch et al.

Summary: The long-lived five-needle pines, such as Pinus flexilis and Pinus longaeva, can co-occur and form symbiotic partnerships with the same species of ectomycorrhizal fungi, facilitating their persistence and adding to their conservation value. Differences in fungal communities between the roots of these pine species were significant, despite similar soil communities, and were associated with tree age up to 1340 years. Age heterogeneity within old-growth stands promotes fungal diversity.
