Abstract The Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (ChNPP) accident in 1986 resulted in
extremely high levels of acute ionising radiation, that killed or damaged Scots pine (Pinus …

Pine trees produce large amounts of oleoresin to defend against biotic threats. Resin is
highly costly to produce and investment in its production must be accurately optimized in …

Intraspecific variation in plant defences is expected to be the result of adaptive and plastic
responses to environmental conditions, where trade-offs between growth and defences are …

The potential of pine resin as a renewable non-timber product is furthering the
socioeconomic relevance of the resin industry in Europe, where maritime pine (Pinus …

Forests are threatened globally by increased recurrence and intensity of hot droughts.
