As the world warms, more trees are dying in Australian forests
From Tasmania to the Top End, Australia's forest trees are dying at higher rates due to climate change, according to new research.

The latent presence of Cryptostroma corticale (causal agent of the sooty bark disease) is widespread among French sycamore maple populations. Host density and water deficit seem to drive the silent spread of the pathogen. See our paper: doi.org/10.1111/ppa.... @umr-iam.bsky.social

Increasing drought events promote forest disease emergence, exemplified by Sooty Bark Disease (SBD) of Acer pseudoplatanus caused by Cryptostroma corticale. Across six French regions, the pathogen wa....

Can plant biodiversity predict underground fungal diversity?

New study published in Nature Communications finds only 8.8% of arbuscular mycorrhizal and 1.5% of ectomycorrhizal fungal diversity hotspots overlap with plant hotspots.
