Article on the spread of beech leaf disease (BLD) in the United States. It's caused by Litylenchus crenatae, a nematode from Asia. #beech #tree #trees #nematode #biology #disease #arborists #fagus #forest #ecology https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/13/realestate/beech-leaf-disease.html?unlocked_article_code=1.gk8.hZkg.Px7C6OhdLFhW&smid=url-share

What to Know About Beech Leaf Disease: How It Spreads and Ways to Reduce Symptoms

Beech leaf disease has already made its way to 15 states and into Ontario, with alarming results.

Been the last two days in a workshop on oriental beech, Fagus orientalis. A species growing from Greece to the Caucasus and probably the parental species from which our European F. sylvatica evolved. And there might be a possibility of it being perhaps slightly more drought resistant (choosing carefully my words here :-), but clearly more diverse, and therefore an interesting species to adapt our #beech #forests at critical sites to #ClimateChange. All in all an interesting two days with scientists and forest managers from different European countries

The unfiltered paper, with all the major deficits outlined by Kong's/New Phyt's #PeerReview experts still in it, is now online on bioRvix.

Being not limited, we moved a few more figures from the supplement to the main text 😎

And, gravest of all deficits. We didn't cite the right people: "The references section is curious, and heavily cites a close network of workers in this organism [beech, #Fagus] while ignoring relevant work on reticulation in other groups [which?!], ... And just look at the date distribution of those citations [from 2002-2024]! Not sure I see even a single name I would consider a major player in plant reticulation or reticulation methods."
No major player, but impact we generate with beeches 😎

The #Europeanbeech #Fagus #sylvatica (#Fagaceae) is considered a very original #faunalelement of #CentralEurope and is still the most common tree in native #mixedforests. The #tree can live up to 300 years. During the last #IceAge, this tree species was only found in #refuges in #SouthernEurope, from where it subsequently spread northward again. #biodiversity #trees

‘Fagus Sunset’

The glorious detail of Tasmania’s native deciduous beech.

Shot in the off season, and treated with an artistic colour wash, these leaves will soon make way for the spring growth.

Fresh green buds forming, pushing the russet red leaves to carpet the sodden ground.

Limited edition

This work is currently in its last week on show at the @wildernessgallery cradle mountain and is also available on the website.

I’m heading up this week to pack the show down and as luck would have it… the timing lines up with the turning of these leaves for their autumn show! Can’t wait to snap some new pics and see what I find out in the wild 🖤
