This paper provides characteristic and a comprehensive overview of the adaptation
strategies of sessile oak (Quercus petraea [Matt.] Liebl.) in the context of global climate …

Mistletoes play important roles in biogeochemical cycles. Although many studies have
compared nutrient concentrations between mistletoes and their hosts, no general patterns …

Mistletoes are important co-contributors to tree mortality globally, particularly during
droughts. In Australia, mistletoe distributions are expanding in temperate woodlands, while …

Mistletoes are xylem-tap** hemiparasites that rely on their hosts for water and nutrient
uptake. Thus, they impair tree performance in the face of environmental stress via altering …

Mistletoe infestation leads to a decrease in the growth of woody plants, their longevity, and
partial or complete drying of the top, as well as premature death. Various environmental …

Psittacanthus calyculatus is a hemiparasite mistletoe that represents an ecological problem
due to the impacts caused to various tree species of ecological and commercial interest …

Bark cankers accompanied by symptoms of decline and dieback are the result of a
destructive disease caused by Phytophthora infections in woody plants. Pathogenicity, gas …

Certain trees in semi-arid environments are surpassing their physiological thresholds
because of erratic rainfall and rising global temperatures. Mistletoes (Loranthaceae) may …

In the last decades, the increasing frequency of natural hazards has impacted forest
ecosystems and their surroundings. It is because of climate change that the dynamics of the …

Hemiparasitic plants can reduce photosynthesis and alter the host plant's foliar traits. This
relationship may be more intense in ecosystems with nutritionally poor soil, such as the …
