How disturbance, competition, and dispersal interact to prevent tree range boundaries from kee** pace with climate change
Climate change is expected to cause geographic shifts in tree species' ranges, but such
shifts may not keep pace with climate changes because seed dispersal distances are often …

A silvicultural synthesis of sweet (Castanea sativa) and American (C. dentata) chestnuts
Sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa) and American chestnut (C. dentata) have been explicitly
linked to ancient, historical, and contemporary cultures while enhancing ecological services …

More than the sum of its parts: how disturbance interactions shape forest dynamics under climate change
Interactions among disturbances are seldom quantified, and how they will be affected by
climate change is even more uncertain. In this study, we sought to better understand how …

Beyond blight: Phytophthora root rot under climate change limits populations of reintroduced American chestnut
American chestnut (Castanea dentata) was functionally extirpated from eastern US forests
by chestnut blight, caused by a fungus from Asia. As efforts to produce blight‐resistant …

Restoring a keystone tree species for the future: American chestnut assisted migration plantings in an adaptive silviculture experiment
Species ranges are forecast to change in response to warming temperatures and altered
precipitation patterns, yet tree migration rates fail to track the pace of climate change. In …

Spatially explicit modelling of floodplain forest succession: interactions among flood inundation, forest successional processes, and other disturbances in the Upper …
Simulation models are often used to identify hydrologic regimes suitable for different riparian
or floodplain tree species. However, most existing models pay little attention to forest …

Preferences of avian seed-hoarders in advance of potential American chestnut reintroduction
Nut-bearing trees such as oaks (Quercus genus) and American chestnut (Castanea dentata,
hereafter: chestnut) rely on scatter-hoarding animals for seed dispersal. With the pursuit of …
