Serendipitous meta-transcriptomics : the fungal community of Norway spruce (Picea abies) Universiteit Gent
Throughfall deposition and canopy exchange processes along a vertical gradient within the canopy of beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) Universiteit Gent Universiteit Antwerpen
Allergic contact dermatitis from a medical device containing Picea abies (Norway spruce) resin: Skin sensitizers other than resin acids might be of importance KU Leuven Universiteit Antwerpen
The role of phosphorus, magnesium and potassium availability in soil fungal exploration of mineral nutrient sources in Norway spruce forests Universiteit Hasselt
We investigated fungal growth and community composition in buried meshbags, amended with apatite, biotite or hornblende, in Norway spruce (Picea abies) forests of varying nutrient status. Norway spruce needles and soil collected from forests overlying serpentinite had low levels of potassium and phosphorus, those from granite had low levels of magnesium, whereas those from amphibolite had comparably high levels of these nutrients. We assayed the ...
A conserved graft formation process in Norway spruce and Arabidopsis identifies the PAT gene family as central regulators of wound healing Universiteit Gent Vlaams Instituut voor Biotechnologie
The widespread use of plant grafting enables eudicots and gymnosperms to join with closely related species and grow as one. Gymnosperms have dominated forests for over 200 million years, and despite their economic and ecological relevance, we know little about how they graft. Here we developed a micrografting method in conifers using young tissues that allowed efficient grafting with closely related species and between distantly related genera. ...
Odors Attracting the Long-Legged Predator Medetera signaticornis Loew to Ips typographus L. Infested Norway Spruce Trees Instituut voor Natuur- en Bosonderzoek
Predatory long-legged flies of the genus Medetera are important, but currently understudied, natural enemies of Scolytinae bark beetles such as Ips typographus. Medetera flies lay eggs on beetle-infested trees, where the developing larvae find their prey, but the chemical cues used by Medetera to locate infested trees are currently unknown. To identify odors attracting Medetera signaticornis, a species in Europe, headspace samples were collected ...
Ecologically based height growth model and derived raster maps of Norway spruce site index in the Western Carpathians Universiteit Antwerpen
The purpose of this study was to find the ecological factors that most affect height growth of Norway spruce (Picea abies Karst.) over the Western Carpathians. The specific aim was to find climate and soil parameters which are influenced by climate change and can thus be used to make a forest growth model more sensitive to climate. From the results, a regression model was built which can predict top height growth of Norway spruce from ecological ...
Tree species effects are amplified by clay content in acidic soils KU Leuven Universiteit Gent
The tree species composition of many forests in western and central Europe has changed considerably over the last century, as large areas of mixed deciduous forests were replaced by conifer plantations. In this study, we aim to evaluate whether conversion of mixed broadleaved forest to Norway spruce (Picea abies) on the acidic soils of the Gaume forest (southern Belgium) affected soil quality in terms of soil acidity, exchangeable calcium and ...
