The impact of competition and allelopathy on the trade-off between plant defense and growth in two contrasting tree species
In contrast to plant-animal interactions, the conceptual framework regarding the impact of
secondary metabolites in mediating plant-plant interference is currently less well defined …

Tamm review: Forest understorey and overstorey interactions: So much more than just light interception by trees
Plant interactions play a key role in forest ecosystem dynamics. The tallest plants, namely
the overstorey trees, are obvious major drivers, particularly in competition for light. This …

Local carbon reserves are insufficient for phloem terpene induction during drought in Pinus edulis in response to bark beetle‐associated fungi
Stomatal closure during drought inhibits carbon uptake and may reduce a tree's defensive
capacity. Limited carbon availability during drought may increase a tree's mortality risk …

Plant growth inhibitors: allelopathic role or phytotoxic effects? Focus on Mediterranean biomes
Allelopathy (the chemical based communication among plants) is gaining more and more
attention thanks to its likely outcomes in several fields, but it is, in the meantime, a …

Allelochemicals of Pinus halepensis as Drivers of Biodiversity in Mediterranean Open Mosaic Habitats During the Colonization Stage of Secondary Succession
The Mediterranean region is recognized as a global biodiversity hotspot. However, over the
last 50 years or so, the cessation of traditional farming has given way to strong afforestation …
