In the present study, 53 morphological traits were used to evaluate phenotypic variation among 100 trees belonging to <i>Q. brantii</i> collected from 10 areas of Kohgiluyeh-va-Boyerahmad province, Iran. Considerable variability was exhibited among the trees collected based on the traits measured (ANOVA, P &lt; 0.01). The coefficient of variation (CV) ranged from 12.73 (in nut diameter) to 76.06% (in the transparency of leaf upper color). Leaf margin was highly variable, including doubly serrate, serrate, broadly spiny, spiny, and narrowly spiny. Leaf blade length ranged from 59.41 to 122.53 mm, nut weight ranged from 1.39 to 17.24 g, and kernel weight varied from 0.63 to 13.09 g. Principal component analysis (PCA) showed 15 main components, which contributed 76.60% of the total variance. Cluster analysis based on Ward’s method showed two different major clusters among all the trees studied. Besides, the studied 10 populations were placed into four groups in the bi-plot generated with PCA of population analysis.

It is therefore crucial to monitor tree vitality to preserve forests and their functions. However, methods describing tree vitality in situ are lacking reproducibility or are too laborious. Thus, we tested a laser-scanning based approach, assuming that an objective measurement of a tree’s outer shape should reveal changes according to tree vitality. QSMs of similarly sized beech trees from stands with varying degrees of drought damage were used. Absolute and relative fine branch lengths, their ratio to lower order branches’ lengths and their progressions over relative height were targeted to identify fine branch dieback and reduced growth. The absolute fine branch length was significantly lower for less vital beech trees, especially within the upper crown, leading to a less top-heavy vertical distribution of fine branches and a reduced fine-to-base order branch length ratio.

Responses of herbivore abundance to plant genotypic diversity may depend on host specificity, especially the host-feeding type. We conducted a common-garden experiment by manipulating plot-level genotypic diversity (number of source populations per plot) of Erman’s birch (<i>Betula ermanii</i>) to understand how birch genotypic diversity affected the abundance of three herbivore feeding types (chewers, galls, and suckers). Specifically, we investigated whether the effects of plant genotypic diversity on herbivore abundance were additive or non-additive. Furthermore, we examined this mechanism as a possible change in plant phenotype (plant productivity and/or leaf traits) and/or herbivore foraging behavior (associational resistance with neighboring plant individuals). We found that genotypic diversity had a significant positive effect on condensed tannin concentration; however, it did not affect plant growth. There was no effect of increasing birch genotypic diversity on the density of chewers (generalists) and chewing herbivory, whereas the density of galls and suckers (specialists) decreased significantly. A negative non-additive effect was observed with regard to gall density and a negative additive effect on sucker density was observed. Gall density was not related to the increase in condensed tannins affected by birch genotypic diversity. This implies that associational resistance is more likely to explain the negative non-additive effects on gall density.
