Above‐ and below‐ground phenology of four tree species in mixed forests and monospecific stands Open
The phenology of tree root growth is poorly understood especially for mixed forests. To attempt to fill this knowledge gap, we selected four co‐occurring broadleaf trees species of the European forests ( Quercus robur , Carpinus betulus , …

Multiyear Drought Strengthens Positive and Negative Functional Diversity Effects on Tree Growth Response Open
Mixed‐species forests are proposed to enhance tree resistance and resilience to drought. However, growing evidence shows that tree species richness does not consistently improve tree growth responses to drought. The underlying mechanisms r…

Multi-year drought strengthens positive and negative functional diversity effects on tree growth response Open
Mixed-species forests are proposed as strategy to increase the resistance and resilience of forests to drought stress. However, evidence suggest that increasing tree species richness does not consistently enhance tree growth responses to d…

Early overyielding in a mixed deciduous forest is driven by both above- and below-ground species-specific acclimatization Open
Background and Aims Mixed forest plantations are increasingly recognized for their role in mitigating the impacts of climate change and enhancing ecosystem resilience. Yet, there remains a significant gap in understanding the early-stage d…

Tree drought–mortality risk depends more on intrinsic species resistance than on stand species diversity Open
Increasing tree diversity is considered a key management option to adapt forests to climate change. However, the effect of species diversity on a forest's ability to cope with extreme drought remains elusive. In this study, we assessed dro…

View article: Drought legacy effects on fine-root-associated fungal communities are modulated by root interactions between tree species
Drought legacy effects on fine-root-associated fungal communities are modulated by root interactions between tree species Open
With climate change, the frequency of severe droughts is predicted to increase globally, resulting in increased forest dieback. Although fine-root systems and their associated fungi are considered crucial for tree nutrient exchange after a…

Unperturbed root fungal communities in a temperate forest recovering from five years of reoccurring droughts  Open
<p>Since industrialization, the global average temperature increases with far reaching consequences for the world climate. One phenomenon is the current occurrence of more heavy and long droughts in Middle Europe, which lead to exten…
