Over six million larch trees to be cut down in Wales to halt spread of deadly disease

Independent: More than six million larch trees are to be cut down in Wales to try to halt the spread of a deadly disease, according to a report. Phytophthora ramorum, whose first name means literally plant destroyer, was first found in the UK at a garden centre in Sussex in 2002 and was first found in Wales just five years ago. It has not yet been found on trees in Scotland, but the fungus-like pathogen has been detected in the south-west of the country. In January, leading scientists warned Britains...

New York Times: Across the stony heel of Italy, a peninsula ringed by the blue-green waters of the Mediterranean, olive trees have existed for centuries, shaping the landscape and producing some of the nations finest olive oils. Except now many of the trees are dying. Sprinkled among the healthy trees are clusters of sick ones, denuded of leaves and standing like skeletons, their desiccated branches bereft of olives. The trees are succumbing to a bacterial outbreak that is sweeping across one of Italys most...
Influence increased atmospheric CO2 concentration European trees
2015-05-11 19:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Increased atmospheric CO2 concentrations have already caused large-scale physiological responses of European forests. In particular, the efficiency of water-use of trees, which is coupled to the uptake of CO2 during photosynthesis of leaves and needles has changed significantly. According to the study of a large, interdisciplinary team of researchers, European broadleaf and coniferous trees have increased their water-use efficiency since the beginning of the 20th century by 14% and 22%, respectively....
