Evolution Letters, 2020 Many theoretical models predict when genetic evolution and phenotypic plasticity allow adaptation to changing environmental conditions. These models generally assume stabilizing selection around some optimal phenotype. We however often ignore how optimal

An Acidity‐Based Model Linking the Dryness Index to Grapevine Acidity Under Climate Change
Australian Journal of Grape and Wine Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Climate change increasingly threatens grape acidity, a key determinant of wine quality and stability, through intensified drought and warming. This study develops an acidity‐focused, climate‐based approach to characterise cultivar‐specific responses to climatic dryness in a Central European wine region.

Rethinking False Spring Risk [PDF]
Temperate plants are at risk of being exposed to late spring freezes. These freeze events - often called false springs - are one of the strongest factors determining temperate plants species range limits and can impose high ecological and economic damage.

The Plant Genome, Volume 18, Issue 4, December 2025.Abstract Warming spring temperatures increase the risk of frost damage to emerging Norway spruce (Picea abies) buds by advancing their spring phenology and increasing the frost event frequency. We present a field‐based electrolyte leakage assay to assess basal frost tolerance in newly emerging buds. Using this assay, we estimated genetic parameters and

Intra-annual radial growth and water relations of trees: implications towards a growth mechanism [PDF]
, 2017 There is a missing link between tree physiological and wood-anatomical knowledge which makes it impossible mechanistically to explain and predict the radial growth of individual trees from climate data.
