IOP Conference Series Earth and Environmental Science, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 1474(1), С. 012012 - 012012

Опубликована: Апрель 1, 2025

Abstract The European beech ( Fagus sylvatica L.) is increasingly valued in Central and Northern Europe due to climate change. This study assesses the impact of container size on F. seedling quality, focusing growth metrics like height, stem diameter, root-to-shoot ratio a controlled nursery setting. Using randomized design, seedlings various sizes were evaluated, revealing that larger containers supported stronger root development balanced growth, whereas smaller limited expansion, impacting long-term potential. Statistical analyses confirmed significant effects indicators, providing insights for practices. Container size, especially dept, significantly improve quality - best results reached by HV400, 56% vigorous healthy no any damages dried seedlings. Future research should examine field performance post-transplantation validate these under natural conditions.

Advances in DNA sequencing technologies allow the of whole genomes thousands individuals and provide several million single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) per individual. These data combined with precise high-throughput phenotyping enable genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identification SNPs underlying traits complex genetic architectures. The identified causal estimated allelic effects could then be used for advanced marker-assisted selection (MAS) breeding programs. But such MAS compete broadly genomic (GS)? This question is particular interest lengthy tree strategies. Here, our new software "SNPscan breeder," we simulated a simple program compared impact different criteria on gain inbreeding. Further, assessed architectures levels kinship among population. Interestingly, apart from progeny testing, GS using gBLUP performed best under almost all scenarios. based GWAS results outperformed only if were large populations (ca. 10,000 individuals) unrelated individuals. Notably, 3,000 extreme phenotypes as good use phenotypes. increased inbreeding thus reduced diversity more strongly to testing GWAS-based selection. We discuss practical implications In conclusion, analyses further support potential forest improvement, although may relevance decreasing costs future.

Long-term growth decline is not reflected in crown condition of European beech after a recent extreme drought

Forest Ecology and Management, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 551, С. 121516 - 121516

Опубликована: Окт. 30, 2023

Global warming poses a major threat to forest ecosystems around the world. In Central Europe, vitality losses and tree mortality have already been observed in various regions, especially after extreme drought episodes such as 2018–2020 drought. European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), which is dominating deciduous species large parts of temperate also suffered from recent Germany, for example, crown condition were observed. Within individual stands, however, differed strongly non–/weakly damaged trees (hereafter referred vital trees) severely damaged/dead (non-vital trees). Tree characteristics micro-site conditions apparently similar. Hence, we checked whether differences growth behavior exist (or) developed over time assessed if between non–/vital individuals might be genetically driven. We found that climate sensitivity well resistance did not consistently differ trees. both groups, growing importance water availability was apparent. Further, long-term decline widespread non-vital trees, suggesting severe stress future risks irrespective condition. Only at one out nine sites, significant heterozygosity, signaling potential adaptation environmental stress. As consequence, our study highlights an poorer indicator than ring width stands Germany.

Slower growth prior to the 2018 drought and a high growth sensitivity to previous year summer conditions predisposed European beech to crown dieback

The Science of The Total Environment, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 912, С. 169068 - 169068

Опубликована: Дек. 2, 2023

The record-breaking drought in 2018 caused premature leaf discoloration and shedding (early browning) many beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) dominated forests Central Europe. However, a high degree of variability response among individual trees was observed. While some were severely impacted by the prolonged water deficits temperatures, others remained vital with no or only minor signs crown vitality loss. Why more susceptible to drought-induced damage than whether growth recovery is possible are poorly understood. Here, we aimed identify characteristics associated between based on sample 470 northern Switzerland. By combining tree measurements condition assessments, also investigated link dieback after drought. Beech early browning exhibited an overall lower vigor before co-occurring trees. This mainly indicated rates, stronger declines past decades, higher growth-climate sensitivity. Particularly, warm previous year summer conditions negatively affected current early-browning These findings suggest that had less access critical resources physiologically limited their predisposing them browning. Following drought, observed potential corresponded amount local climatic balance. Overall, our emphasize beech-dominated Europe under increasing pressure from severe droughts, ultimately reducing competitive ability this species, especially lowland sites shallow soils low holding capacity.

Widespread shrubification across the Arctic has been generally attributed to increasing air temperatures, but responses vary species and sites. Wood structures related plant hydraulic architecture may respond local environmental conditions potentially impact shrub growth, these relationships remain understudied. Using methods of dendroanatomy, we analysed ring width (RW) xylem anatomical traits 80 individuals Salix glauca L. Betula nana at a snow manipulation experiment in Western Greenland. We assessed how their differed between treatments (increased versus ambient depth) soil moisture regimes (wet dry). Despite an increase depth due fences (28-39 %), neither RW nor either showed significant this increase. In contrast, irrespective treatment, specific conductivity (Ks) earlywood vessel size (LA95) for study period were larger S.
