Understand forest responses to climate change with this timely introduction Forests are among the most critical parts of our global ecosystem, responsible for the air we breathe, home to most of the earth's species, and crucial sources of food and raw materials. Forest development is therefore one of the most important areas of ecological study, and damage to forests is potentially existential. Metabolomics, a toolkit which accrues data on interactions between genetic and environmental conditions, promises to advance our understanding of how these vital ecosystems respond to dramatic changes in climate and environment. Monitoring Forest Damage with Mass Spectrometry-Based Metabolomics Methods offers a thorough, accessible discussion of metabolomic techniques and their applications in forest tree research. It promises to enrich the reader's understanding of how forests are being transformed by globe-spanning changes, and to arm researchers with tools for reacting to these potentially epochal developments. Monitoring Forest Damage with Mass Spectrometry-Based Metabolomics Methods readers will also find: * Analysis of specialized secondary metabolites such as phytohormones * Detailed discussion of ecologically important tree genera such as Pinus, Populus, Quercus, and many more * Supplementary materials related to study design, sample preparation, and instrumental analysis protocols Monitoring Forest Damage with Mass Spectrometry-Based Metabolomics Methods is ideal for researchers in analytical chemistry, mass spectrometry, metabolomics, forest research, the life sciences, and all other related fields.

Many of the world's forest ecosystems are severely damaged by climate change. Not only are warmer and drier climates expected to increase the risks of droughts (abiotic forest damage) and forest insect pest outbreaks (biotic forest damage), but warmer and rainier climates are also expected to increase unhealthy pathogen interactions. This book covers the latest challenges and resources provided by highly sensitive mass spectrometry (MS)‐based metabolomics methods to support forest tree research and explore the mechanisms and metabolic landscapes of forest tree species (i.e. primary and secondary metabolites, including phytohormones) in response to damage associated with the adverse effects of global climate change. Although much work is still needed to better understand the molecular basis underlying growth, development, and tree tolerance to environmental fluctuations, unraveling the pathways that fuel tree‐specific resistance mechanisms is essential for the protection of our forests and, ultimately, ourselves.
Chapters 1–5 introduce the existing challenges facing forest tree metabolomics research, including challenges in the experimental design and sample preparation workflows prior to the extraction of metabolites from forest tree tissues and MS‐based metabolomics analysis. The planning of the experimental design is the first crucial step of the entire metabolomics workflow and should include (in great detail) all the technical parameters that ensure data consistency and reproducibility of the generated data and metadata among metabolomics datasets for reliable biological interpretation. Moreover, metabolites are organized in a wide metabolic network, itself composed of multi‐biochemical pathways that are dependent on many genetic and signaling networks for their regulation. A glimpse on systems biology frameworks that integrate MS‐based metabolomics data with other Omics technologies (e.g. genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics) is explored to help uncover interdisciplinary links within the complex forest tree systems.
Chapters 6–8 cover recent advances in leading MS‐based methodologies in forest tree metabolomics, including the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), specific secondary (specialized) metabolites, and phytohormones. Chapters provide an overview of the methodology, general aspects of instrumentation, analytical approaches, sample preparation, and the latest trends relevant to forest tree research.
Chapters 9–13 examine how comprehensive MS‐based metabolomics has helped advance our understanding of forest tree adaptations in response to a changing climate through studies related to (i) forest tree metabolite responses to abiotic and/or combined abiotic stresses and (ii) forest tree diseases caused by biotic disturbances (insect pest and pathogen outbreaks). Particular focus is given to the mechanisms and metabolite adjustments involved in central metabolism and infection‐related metabolic pathways in metabolomics studies of economically and ecologically important forest tree species, such as Populus, Pinus, Picea, Eucalyptus, Quercus, and Ulmus spp.
I hope that both new and well‐established academics and students in the forest tree research field find in this book helpful guidelines and valuable insights for running forest tree metabolomics experiments.
I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all contributors who made this book possible and Professors Dominic M. Desiderio and Joseph A. Loo (Wiley Series on Mass Spectrometry Editors) for the opportunity to take on the role of editor for what I hope will be an important source of informed MS‐based metabolomics methods to monitor forest damage.
Last but not least, next time you walk in the forest, I hope you feel the fertile pulse beneath your feet. And as you wander in contemplation of this vital source, may each breath you take be a reminder of the beauty that surrounds you.

Forests are complex ecosystems and the vital source of the air we breathe. Forests cover about 31% of the total land area (1) and provide habitat for more than 75% of the terrestrial biodiversity, shelter, outdoor recreation spaces, food, medicines, and essential raw materials of great economic importance to humankind. Forests also provide important environmental services, such as soil erosion and flood control, air quality improvement, and play a direct role in climate change mitigation through carbon sequestration and storage (2). Maintaining and enhancing our forests' health, integrity, and resilience to the threats of climate change is therefore crucial for them to continue providing these ecological, environmental, and socio‐cultural benefits.
A forest is usually defined by the presence of trees; however, its designation is slightly more complex and also depends on biophysical and land‐use criteria (3). The FAO Global Forest Resources Assessment 2020 (FAO‐FRA 2020) defines forest as the “land spanning more than 0.5 hectares with trees higher than 5 meters and a canopy cover of more than 10 percent, or trees able to reach these thresholds in situ” (4). According to this definition, a forest area includes regeneration sites after harvesting, understocked sites due to clear‐cut and (natural) disasters, nurseries, forest roads and firebreaks, rubber‐wood, cork oak and Christmas tree plantations, areas with bamboo and palms (if height and canopy cover criteria are met), but excludes any agricultural or other specific non‐forest land use (i.e. fruit tree and oil palm plantations, olive orchards, or agroforestry systems). This definition has been openly criticized for failing to distinguish between land covered by natural forests and forest plantations; forest plantations cause a huge impact on the protection of natural forests because when these areas are cleared and replaced with plantations, no net loss of forest cover is reported (3, 5).
Research in forest trees has been primarily focused on ecologically and economically important tree species, such as Populus, Pinus, Picea, Eucalyptus, Quercus, and Ulmus spp. However, progress in this area has been slow mainly due to the long life cycles of trees, the extremely large genome sizes, and lack of genomic tools (6–8). Efforts by the forest scientific community motivated the development of a model tree system for functional genomics. The rapid growth and relatively small genome size of Populus trichocarpa (black cottonwood) compared to other trees (9–11) led to the sequencing of the first tree genome (12). The sequencing of the Populus genome allowed the first insight into the functional biology of a tree and enabled the development of valuable genetic and genomic resources that greatly facilitated research in forest trees (13). Since then, the application of omics technologies to forest tree species (i.e. genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics) in studies of responses to abiotic and biotic stresses, tree growth and development, and elucidation of wood formation has been key to advance our understanding of complex traits of economic and ecological relevance that allow forest trees survive during long periods of time under threat associated with global climate change (6–8, 14, 15). Moreover, the growing availability of multi‐omics data and emergent integrative systems biology approaches provide new opportunities for studying forest tree resilience across multiple levels of omics information (i.e. from genome, transcriptome, and proteome to metabolome). By comprehensively identifying novel genes and pathways associated with target traits underlying enhanced resistance or susceptibility to abiotic and biotic stresses, important biological insights into the complex defense mechanisms involved in forest tree resilience can be achieved. This systems‐level integration provides powerful information to developing strategies (e.g. through conventional breeding, genetic engineering, and genome editing) that can help forest ecosystems mitigate the damaging effects of climate change and, ultimately, restore forest health (16–20).
During the lifetime of forests, trees are exposed to many different environmental factors that can threaten their survival. This is particularly true for tree species that, given their long life cycle, must withstand regular unfavorable weather conditions over many changing seasons. To respond to recurring fluctuations in environmental conditions, trees rely on evolved adaptive mechanisms that allow them to survive long periods of time and maintain their cellular homeostasis. However, this homeostasis can be greatly disrupted by the occurrence of a wide range of abiotic (e.g. drought, heat, salinity, and cold) and biotic (e.g. herbivory, pathogen infection) stresses, which often occur in combination under natural field conditions (Figure 1.1) (21–24).
Figure 1.1 Forest tree metabolite responses to abiotic (e.g. light, heat, drought, cold, flooding, salinity, metals, and elevated CO2) and biotic stresses (e.g. pests, such as insects and herbivores, and pathogens) are often related to adjustments in the primary and secondary metabolism, respectively. However, these events can also be observed in combination, which further compromises tree survival. Metabolite regulation during stress response (single or combined) and the activation of resistance mechanisms are strongly dependent on the cross talk between primary and secondary metabolism (e.g. primary metabolite adjustments to provide energy for the activation of defense responses). In the context of global climate change, drought and heat stress, often in combination with elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration, are the most frequently abiotic‐stress factors being studied in forest metabolomics.

Plant responses to abiotic stress are finely regulated by molecular networks, and significant advances using omics technologies have accelerated the discovery of stress‐responsive genes, proteins, and metabolites involved in these cascades (7, 25, 26). The damage caused by abiotic‐stress factors can deeply affect many aspects of plant physiology and metabolism, and further negatively impair plant growth and development.
In the presence of an abiotic‐stress event, the accumulation of phytohormones (e.g. abscisic acid [ABA]) and osmolytes (e.g. branched‐chained amino acids, soluble sugars, raffinose family of oligosaccharides, and polyamines) is well documented. Osmolyte accumulation has an important role in maintaining cell turgor by decreasing the osmotic potential of the cell and protection against oxidative damage by decreasing the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to restore cellular redox balance. Stress‐tolerant plants can show higher levels of these metabolites even under normal growth conditions, thus preparing their metabolism for an adverse stress event. Abiotic‐stress factors also influence the accumulation of secondary metabolites due to their role as antioxidants against oxidative damage (25,27–33).
In the context of global climate change, the increased incidence of droughts and extreme heat events are the main abiotic‐stress factors driving forest damage by limiting the growth and productivity of tree species; hence, compromising their survival (34–38). Overall, drought and heat‐induced tree mortality are mainly related to impairments in hydraulic function (i.e. irreversible dysfunction in xylem water transport) and carbon and energy balance (39–46). Furthermore, the occurrence of such extreme weather conditions can result in a substantial loss of forest‐based ecosystem biodiversity. With the widespread forest damage and increased tree mortality, susceptible forest tree species tend to be replaced by species that display a set of morpho‐physiological traits that confer higher tolerance to these extreme weather events. Besides this loss in biodiversity, the increase in drought and heat‐induced tree mortality rates can also cause profound changes in global carbon and water cycles, thereby leading to a shift in global forest ecosystems from carbon sinks to carbon sources (47–49).
As a result of human activity and the rapid and intensifying global climate change, the negative consequences of abiotic stress events are undeniably expected to worsen (50, 51). The prevalence of more intense drought periods, in combination with the increased frequency of extreme heat events, has already been responsible for the amplified vulnerability of forest ecosystems all over the world, affecting several economically important fast‐growing forest tree species, mainly Pinus, Populus, and Eucalyptus (52–54).
The combined effect of biotic and abiotic stresses has been associated with major forest damage and, consequently, extensive tree mortality (20, 52). Forest tree species are especially prone to insect pests and pathogen attacks because their long life cycle impairs trees to match the fast‐evolutionary rates of these organisms (55, 56). In addition, in the context of global climate change and the increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, tree vulnerability facilitates the spread, reproduction, and development of these biotic agents (57–59).
Forest pests and pathogens can also be subjected to the negative effects of climate change; however, further studies are urgently needed to better understand the dynamics between trees, pests and pathogens, and extreme weather conditions and their role in infection and disease outbreaks (20). For example, the effect of drought in combination with heat stress can have different effects depending on the type of disease, the affected tissue, and the severity of the abiotic stress (60, 61). Drought has been shown to significantly increase the damage caused by leaf pathogens and reduce that of root and stem pathogens (61). In addition, the interaction between drought, heat, and biotic agents often triggers physiological mechanisms of tree death, such as carbon starvation and hydraulic failure (62). However, studies in the literature are still scarce and often do not reflect accurate field conditions.
To deal with the constant threat of biotic agents, trees have evolved effective defense resistance mechanisms that allow them to survive during their long life cycle (63). These defense mechanisms associated with tree responses to biotic‐stress events include: (i) inducible chemical defenses (e.g. secondary metabolites such as terpenoids, phenolic compounds, and alkaloids); (ii) inducible protein‐based defenses (e.g. proteinase inhibitors); (iii) anatomical defenses acting as structural barriers (e.g. enhanced lignification); and (iv) indirect defenses (e.g. attraction of natural enemies) (64, 65). Phytohormones also have a crucial role in regulating plant defense responses against pests and pathogens, in particular jasmonic acid (JA), salicylic acid (SA), and ethylene (ET) (66). SA is generally involved in the activation of defense responses against biotrophic and hemi‐biotrophic pathogens, whereas JA and ET are responsible for defense responses against necrotrophic pathogens and herbivorous insects. Plant defense signaling pathways also involve the cross talk between primary and secondary metabolism. Primary metabolic pathways act as a source of energy to support defense responses and also as a source of signaling molecules to directly or indirectly trigger defense responses (67, 68).
Metabolomics is the omics technology that best reflects the interaction between the genetic traits and environmental factors, thus being considered the molecular phenotype of a living organism (69, 70). Metabolomics studies greatly benefit from the development of next‐generation sequencing technologies and the availability of genome sequence data for the establishment of gene‐metabolite correlations that allow for a broader metabolome characterization and additional insights on the various functions of metabolites in biological processes, such as plant growth and development, and abiotic and biotic stress responses (71–77). After major genomics breakthroughs in forest tree research, that is the availability of the early reference genomes of Populus (the first tree genome) (12) and Eucalyptus(78) followed by the sequence of other important woody plant genomes (8, 79, 80), metabolomics studies in forest tree species have generated increased interest.
When compared to other plants, metabolomics studies using forest tree species are characterized by additional challenges. These include the need for an experimental design that takes into account the long life cycle and the genetic variability of forest tree species as well as the presence of interferents that can require additional processing steps during sample preparation. One strategy to overcome the effect of genetic variability of forest trees when evaluating quantitative traits (e.g. tree productivity and metabolite production) is the use of clonal stands. The introduction of clonal stands and clonal orchards can rapidly speed the breeding progress and plant selection of desired quantitative traits. However, in field conditions, the introduction of new clonal material among established natural forest ecosystems should not compromise the existent genetic or genotypic diversity, which could in turn lead to negative effects, such as increased competition and increased susceptibility to pests and pathogens (81). Other challenges concern the reporting standards because details of the experimental metadata (e.g. parental original, geographical location, field growth conditions, biological growth stages, and phenological parameters) that allow re‐use of the data are often not described (8, 82); see Chapters 2–5 for further discussions. Despite the struggles, continuous efforts from the metabolomics scientific community have been made to ensure forest metabolomics data and metadata reproducibility between laboratories and to promote the availability of curated databases and repositories containing high‐quality data (including dedicated woody species platforms).
Current plant metabolomics studies rely on the application of mass spectrometry (MS)‐ and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)‐based methods, and several detailed protocols are available (83). MS‐based methods, namely liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC–MS) and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC–MS), can deliver highly sensitive qualitative and quantitative data that provide a detailed description of the biochemical pathways that are influenced by environmental changes. In this context, although much work is still needed, the use of MS‐based metabolomics methods in forest tree research has been crucial to advance our understanding of the metabolic landscapes, that is primary and secondary (specialized) metabolites (including phytohormones), of forest trees in response to environmental cues, such as changing weather patterns (abiotic forest damage) and pathogen interactions (biotic forest damage) ((84–92); to name a few). For further examples and methods, see Chapters 6–13.
By contrast, despite requiring minimal sample preparation and being highly reproducible, NMR‐based methods are only able to detect highly abundant metabolites (93–95). Consequently, due to the lower high‐throughput relative to MS, NMR has been largely outperformed by MS‐based methods for a broader metabolite coverage (31,75–77, 96). Nevertheless, NMR has demonstrated to be a powerful complementary technique in plant metabolomics, being typically employed in natural products research (e.g. structure elucidation of unknown compounds) (94, 95). In forest tree research, NMR‐based methods have been used to explore the industrial processing of wood (e.g. pulp and paper industry or biofuel production), particularly in studies of the structure elucidation and composition of lignin in forest tree species, including Populus(97), Eucalyptus(98), and Quercus(99).
Many of the world's forest ecosystems are severely threatened by global climate change. Not only warmer and drier climates are expected to increase the risks of droughts and forest insect pest outbreaks, but also warmer and wetter climates are expected to increase unhealthy pathogen interactions. In addition, different forest tree species display a wide array of specific secondary (specialized) metabolites that might be produced for defense against abiotic and biotic‐stress factors only in specific environmental circumstances. More integrated research studies that combine multi‐level information from omics technologies and systems biology approaches are also needed to provide new insights into the complex molecular mechanisms involved in responses of forest trees to abiotic and biotic stresses. A better understanding of the specific mechanisms of resistance that fuel forest tree‐defense responses to abiotic and biotic threats is urgent to develop strategies for more resilient natural forest ecosystems around the world and to, ultimately, help them regenerate and fight climate change.
