DOI: 10.1007/s00572-020-00998-0
Abstract: The first life stages of a tree are subject to strong environmental stresses and competition, limiting their chances of survival. Establishing a mutualistic relationship with mycorrhizal fungi during early life stages may increase growth and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10342-021-01378-9
Abstract: Research on mixed forests has mostly focused on tree growth and productivity, or resistance and resilience in changing climate conditions, but only rarely on the effects of tree species mixing on timber quality. In particular,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2018.02.016
Abstract: Abstract More frequent and intensive droughts are projected to affect the vitality of major European tree species. Therefore, it is important to search for alternative, more drought-tolerant species to ensure ecological stability, biodiversity, and productivity… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/treephys/tpac117
Abstract: Abstract Trees have been used for phytoremediation and as biomonitors of air pollution. However, the mechanisms by which trees mitigate nanoparticle pollution in the environment are still unclear. We investigated whether two important tree species,… read more here.
