Abstract Forecasted increase drought frequency and severity may drive worldwide declines in forest productivity. Species‐level responses to a drier world are likely be influenced by their functional traits. Here, we analyse resilience using an extensive network of tree‐ring width data satellite imagery. We compiled proxies growth productivity ( TRW i, absolutely dated ring‐width indices; NDVI , Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) for 11 tree species 502 forests Spain corresponding...
Abstract The negative impacts of drought on forest growth and productivity last for several years generating legacies, although the factors that determine why such legacies vary across sites tree species remain unclear. We used an extensive network tree‐ring width (RWI, ring‐width index) records 16 from 567 forests, high‐resolution climate normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) datasets Spain during common period 1982‒2008 to test hypothesis conditions features modulate legacy effects...
Drought is one of the key natural hazards impacting net primary production and tree growth in forest ecosystems. Nonetheless, species show different responses to drought events, which make it difficult adopt fixed tools for monitoring impacts under contrasting environmental climatic conditions. In this study, we assess response a satellite proxy (NPP) peninsular Spain Balearic Islands, region characterized by complex climatological, topographical, characteristics. Herein, employed three...
Ink disease caused by the hemibiotrophic root pathogen Phytophthora cinnamomi (Pc) is devastating for European chestnut (Castanea sativa), unlike Asian chestnuts and interspecific hybrids, which are resistant to Pc. The role that hormone responses play Pc resistance remains little understood, especially regarding temporal regulation of responses. We explored relationship between changes in tree health physiology alterations leaf phytohormones primary secondary metabolites during compatible...
Abstract Tree‐ring data has been widely used to inform about tree growth responses drought at the individual scale, but less is known how sensitivity scales up driving changes in forest dynamics. Here, we related tree‐ring chronologies and stand‐level basal area from two independent sets test if match stand dynamics (stand growth, ingrowth, mortality). We assessed covary as a function of spatial scale taxa (gymnosperm or angiosperm). To this end, compared network with Spanish National Forest...
Chestnut forests are undergoing increasing heat stress due to the current global warming, but little is known about physiology and biochemistry responses of Castanea sativa Mill. or whether differences exist between populations. Six-month-old seedlings from three climatically contrasting populations C. (from north, centre, south Spain) were subjected control conditions for 7 days. The effects on their recovery (10 days after stress) described by assessment visible symptoms, growth,...
Abstract Phytophthora cinnamomi ( Pc ) is an extremely destructive soil‐borne pathogen of Asiatic origin responsible for “ink disease” in chestnut. This work assesses the adaptive potential to impact four Spanish populations Castanea sativa undergoing different selection pressures. To explore evolvability C. selected populations, parameters obtained from neutral and functional genetic diversity were compared with estimates quantitative variability. Nine expressed sequence tags‐simple repeat...
Ink disease caused by the root-rot pathogen P. cinnamomi (Pc) threatens European sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) orchards, and growers increasingly graft susceptible C. traditional varieties on Pc-resistant hybrid commercial rootstocks. The influence of scion, rootstock, grafting per se vegetative budburst, growth, susceptibility to Pc defence-related hormone profile Castanea spp. are unknown. In a greenhouse experiment, these effects were evaluated reciprocally two resistant crenata...
Abstract Needle blights are serious fungal diseases affecting European natural and planted pine forests. Brown-spot needle blight (BSNB) disease, caused by the fungus Lecanosticta acicola, causes canopy defoliation severe productivity losses, with consequences depending on host susceptibility. To gain new insights into BSNB plant–pathogen interactions, constitutive pathogen-induced traits were assessed in two species differential disease Six-month-old Pinus radiata D. Don (susceptible) pinea...
