Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1207-1220, May 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The concept of growing degree days (GDDs) is commonly used to predict phenological events in plants, assuming that plants develop proportionally to the accumulated temperature. Two species‐specific parameters, TBase and t0 (minimum temperature above which and start date

Demographic and Structural Variability Modulate Growth Dynamics in European Beech Primary Forests
Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 5, May 2026.Climate change is increasing drought and heat stress on European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), causing widespread tree vitality losses and growth declines across Europe. Using a large tree ring network from montane primary beech forests, we found that trees of various ages and sizes respond differently to climate warming, leading to contrasting within ...

Dormancy Patterns of Apple Trees Grown in a Mild Winter Region: A Breakpoint Model Analysis
Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 3, May/June 2026.ABSTRACT Climate change poses a significant challenge to the production of temperate climate fruit trees, since the dormancy of these species is regulated by the chill and heat accumulation during winter and early spring. This study aimed to identify the dormancy evolution patterns of three apple cultivars (“Galaxy,” “Fuji Suprema,” and “Eva”) in a ...

Agrivoltaic System Potential to Mitigate Effects of Climate Change in Viticulture
Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.Climate change intensifies heatwaves, droughts, and shifting phenology in vineyards, threatening wine production. Historical meteorological data, onsite measurements, and climate projections reveal rising temperatures, up to 5.8°C by 2100 in wine‐growing regions like Hatzenport (Germany).

Budburst and flowering intensity by the spraying of dormancy-breaking products in ‘Eva’ apple trees
Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2019 Spraying of dormancy-breaking chemicals is a mandatory procedure to produce temperate fruits in low-chill regions. Although hydrogen cyanamide (HC) + mineral oil (MO) show efficiency enhancing budburst, the usage of HC is restricted in some countries due

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

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.Our systematic review of 91 peer‐reviewed articles on tree recruitment highlights a research bias toward seedling‐focused studies and reveals a high prevalence of nonsignificant results. We recommend targeted experimental work on seedling treatments, mycorrhizal associations, fertilization, warm stratification, scarification, and chemical treatments ...

Effects of delayed winter pruning on vine performance and grape composition in cv. Merlot
BIO Web of Conferences, 2019 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 ...

Evaluating cultivars for pollinator gardens
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Pollinator gardening is a rapidly growing community‐based conservation movement, yet evidence‐based guidelines for practice are largely missing. In particular, it is unclear whether cultivars of flowering plants (i.e., horticultural varieties)‐can support pollinators as effectively as their wild‐type counterparts.

Novel GA‐Based Calibration Method for MAIDENiso Ecophysiological Forest Model
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Process‐based ecophysiological forest models are essential for understanding the mechanisms underlying forest responses to climate change. The MAIDENiso ecophysiological model provides an excellent framework for systematically analyzing photosynthetic production, carbon allocation strategies, and stable isotope signals in forests. However, the
