5. Low but significant evolutionary potential for growth, phenology and reproduction traits in European beechMarjana Westergren, Juliette Archambeau, Marko Bajc, Rok Damjanić, Adélaïde Theraroz, Hojka Kraigher, Sylvie Oddou-Muratorio, Santiago C. González-Martínez, 2023, complete scientific database of research data Abstract: Local survival of forest tree populations under climate change depends on existing genetic variation and their adaptability to changing environments. Responses to selection were studied in European beech (Fagus sylvatica) under field conditions. A total of 1,087 adult trees, seeds, one-year-old seedlings, and established multiyear saplings were genotyped with 16 nuSSRs. Adult trees were assessed for phenotypic traits related to growth, phenology and reproduction. Parentage and paternity analyses were used to estimate effective female and male fecundity as a proxy of fitness and showed that few parents contributed to successful regeneration. Selection gradients were estimated from the relationship between traits and fecundity, while heritability and evolvability were estimated using mixed models and the breeder’s equation. Larger trees bearing more fruit and early male flowering had higher total fecundity, while trees with longer growth season had lower total fecundity (directional selection). Stabilising selection on spring phenology was found for female fecundity, highlighting the role of late frosts as a selection driver. Selection gradients for other traits varied between measurement years and the offspring cohort used to estimate parental fecundity. Compared to other studies in natural populations, we found low to moderate heritability and evolvability for most traits. Response to selection was higher for growth than for budburst, leaf senescence or reproduction traits, reflecting more consistent selection gradients across years and sex functions, and higher phenotypic variability in the population. Our study provides empirical evidence suggesting that populations of long-lived organisms such as forest trees can adapt locally, even at short-time scales.

6. Mycelial communities associated with Ostrya carpinifolia, Quercus pubescens and Pinus nigra in a patchy Sub-Mediterranean Karst woodlandTanja Mrak, Philip Alan Brailey-Crane, Nataša Šibanc, Tijana Martinović, Jožica Gričar, Hojka Kraigher, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: Common mycorrhizal networks of ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi could be of great benefit to trees growing in the shallow soils of Sub-Mediterranean Karst ecosystems, potentially playing a crucial role in the survival of trees in this harsh environment. The first step to confirm the existence of such networks is to assess the extent and nature of symbiont sharing in the mycelial community. To address this question, we incubated in-growth mesh bags under the native Ostrya carpinifolia and Quercus pubescens, and the non-native Pinus nigra, over two consecutive years. In Q. pubescens and P. nigra, but not in O. carpinifolia, mycelium production was significantly higher in the year with higher spring precipitation, indicating the influence of climatic conditions, but also the identity of the host tree. We observed a complex interaction between tree species and sampling year in structuring the composition and diversity of mycelial communities. Local environmental conditions contributed additionally and were responsible for 21.46% of the community variation between samples. Although ~ 70% of fungal operational taxonomic units were shared across the studied tree species, distinct community compositions emerged, emphasizing the role of host tree specificity. Q. pubescens exhibited greater stability in EcM richness between sampling years, whereas P. nigra showed lower EcM richness, likely due to limited availability of compatible fungi and reliance on introduced fungal partners. Additionally, differences in EcM fungal exploration strategies were observed. O. carpinifolia and Q. pubescens mainly hosted non-specific EcM fungi with short distance exploration types. In contrast, EcM fungi of P. nigra had higher spatial spread, and were predominantly conifer specific. Overall, our results emphasize the importance of host specificity, soil parameters, spatial proximity, and climatic variability for the structuring of mycelial communities in fragmented forests.
