A model of leaf budding and development for a mature Quercus forest [PDF]
Le débourrement et l'accroissement en surface des feuilles jusqu'à leur surface maximale ont été suivis de 1976 à 1983 dans une futaie de chênes (#Quercus petraea#).

Pavement induced soil warming accelerates leaf budburst of ash trees [PDF]
Abstract Urban greening is becoming increasingly popular in cities around the world, which is leading to the planting of more and more trees in paved areas in urban environments. However scientifically it is not well understood how pavement may impact tree greening efforts.

Unapparent trees: escaping enemies in time by being discreet, unpredictable and inaccessible
For half a century, biologists considered trees as particularly apparent to their enemies. But why then do some trees escape herbivorous enemies by bursting buds either too early or too late, leading to phenological mismatch? We hypothesize that such mismatches occur on trees that are unapparent in time – those that burst buds ‘discreetly' (slowly) and

Effects of delayed winter pruning on vine performance and grape composition in cv. Merlot
Delaying winter pruning until after budburst is a technique that can retard vine phenological phases and reduce grape sugar concentration at harvest. Given these characteristics, many studies have recently been conducted to verify the ability of pruning ...

While research to date has focused on single genotypes of coppice willow grown in monoculture, industry standards have been characterised for growing mixtures of 6–8 genotypes for decades. We collected a dataset with several genotype by environment interactions to bridge the gap between industry and academia thanks to its versatility.

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.

ABSTRACT A crucial part of the phenological cycle in temperate and boreal trees is the exposure to chilling temperatures releasing endodormancy, which allows the trees to react to external signals and resume growth in spring. We compared the effect of artificial and natural chilling on endodormancy break and frost hardiness of sugar maple (Acer ...

Pruning date and hydrogen cyanamide effects on growth and yield of grapevine var. Cabernet Sauvignon
Harvesting the grapes before the monsoon season is crucial to ensure the quality of berry and bunches. This study aims to identify the optimal window for pruning and hydrogen cyanamide (HC) application to prepone the berry harvesting.

Comprehensive ecosystem model-data synthesis using multiple data sets at two temperate forest free-air CO2 enrichment experiments: Model performance at ambient CO2 concentration [PDF]
Free-air CO2 enrichment (FACE) experiments provide a remarkable wealth of data which can be used to evaluate and improve terrestrial ecosystem models (TEMs).

Pruning after budburst to delay and spread grape maturity
Background and Aims The shift in phenological development is the most conspicuous biological effect of climate change in vineyards worldwide. Associated with the advancement in maturity there has been a compression of the harvest period that places significant pressure on vineyard and winery infrastructure.
