TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated variation in tree growth and drought resistance (growth during drought) and resilience (growth in period following drought) across four land-use categories (built, transportation, park, and semi-natural forest) and four species (Acer saccharum, Gymnocladus dioicus, Liriodendron tulipifera, and Pinus strobus) at The Morton Arboretum in suburban Lisle, Illinois, U.S.

TL;DR: In this article, a rapid urban site index (RUSI) model was created and tested for its ability to predict urban tree performance, and the RUSI model accurately predicted urban tree health and growth metrics.

TL;DR: Scotch broom generated positive feedbacks with resource conditions that favored its dominance and the establishment of nonnative grass, and was not consistently associated with increases in total soil N, but there was evidence of increasing soil water N when Scotch broom was present.

TL;DR: In this article, the mortality of reserve trees in the Acadian Forest Ecosystem Research Project (AFERP), a long-term ecological forestry experiment in central Maine, USA, was investigated.

TL;DR: Why P. taeda can grow much better in Brazil than in the southeastern United States is likely due to a combination of factors, including leaf area distribution, crown architecture, and other factors that have been identified as influencing the site effect.
