Tree growth response and adaptation to climate change and climate extremes: From canopy to stem

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review synthesizes the responses and adaptations of tree growth, including canopy phenology, intra‐annual wood formation dynamics, and annual stem growth, to climate change and climate extremes. It highlights key knowledge gaps for future research to support sustainable forest management and enhance forest carbon storage under ongoing climate ...

Alternative budburst inducers for kiwifruit vines grown in an organic system

Revista Brasileira de Fruticultura, 2021
Lack of budburst inducers is a major problem in organic production of temperate fruits. This study aimed at evaluating the effect of alternative budburst inducers on kiwifruit vines of cultivar Bruno grown in an orchard in Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul (RS),

PEP725: 15 years of driving European and global phenology science

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Phenology – the timing of seasonal biological events – is a sensitive indicator of climate change and ecosystem dynamics. Long‐term, broad‐scale phenological data are crucial for understanding and predicting plant responses to environmental change.

Haplotype‐Resolved Genome Assembly and Population Genomics Reveal Evolutionary History and Agronomic Traits of Mulberry

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mulberry is a representative economic tree species valued for both poverty alleviation and medicinal use. To advance the understanding of mulberry genomics and demography, we assembled high‐quality haploid genomes of two widely cultivated mulberry varieties NS14 and QS1, and analysed 376 accessions from 12 countries, including 39 ancient trees

Native trees are related to advanced bird breeding phenology and increased reproductive success along an urban gradient

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Urban areas are altered from natural landscapes in several ways that can impact wildlife. Birds are widespread in urban areas, and it is well documented that there are phenotypic differences between urban and non‐urban conspecifics. However, little is known about which characteristics of the urban environment are driving differences. We used 9

Preponed Budburst in Grapevine ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ Enables Berry Harvest before Monsoon in Lower Hills of Nepal

Nepalese Horticulture
Berry harvesting coinciding with the monsoon is the major problem of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) cultivation in Nepal. Nepalese viticulture is benefitted by advancing budburst and hydrogen cyanamide (HC) has the potential to break the bud dormancy in ...

Combined volunteer and ecological network observations show broad‐scale temperature‐sensitivity patterns for deciduous plant flowering and leaf‐out times across the eastern USA

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 1, January 2026.
Phenological ‘big data’ encompassing over 100 species across the eastern USA show that leaf‐out and flowering occur earlier with warmer temperatures and that native species and individuals at high latitudes tend to have weaker temperature sensitivities than introduced species and more southern plants; these findings suggest adaptations within and ...

Effects of reduced precipitation and advanced spring phenology on intra‐ and interspecific competition between beech, oak and linden saplings

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 1, January 2026.
European beech, essential to Central European forests, faces rising drought stress, yet its sapling regeneration remains strong. Therefore, we tested beech, oak and linden saplings in monoculture and mixtures under reduced precipitation and spring warming.

Photoperiod–Temperature Interactions in a Changing Climate: A Review of Plant Phenological Responses

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Climate change is reshaping plant phenology and species distributions, especially in temperate and boreal ecosystems, where advances in spring events have already extended the growing season. While temperature has been the primary focus of many studies, the role of photoperiod—a stable, latitude‐dependent cue—remains underexplored.

Experimental Warming Does Not Change Fluctuating Asymmetry in Three Willow Species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
We tested whether leaf fluctuating asymmetry (FA) responds to experimental warming in three boreal willow species using open‐top chambers and blind measurements. While warming increased specific leaf area, neither leaf length nor FA showed significant responses, and FA did not differ among species or individuals.
