Abstract Earth's forests are major carbon sinks that slow human‐driven climate change, yet climate‐sensitive disturbances are increasing tree mortality and altering carbon cycling. We assessed how forest mortality influences the magnitude, phenology, and drivers of carbon fluxes across the conterminous United States.

Management of service crops for the provision of ecosystem services in vineyards: A review [PDF]
Service crops are crops grown with the aim of providing non-marketed ecosystem services, i.e. differing from food, fiber and fuel production. Vineyard soils face various agronomic issues such as poor organic carbon levels, erosion, fertility losses, and ...

Abstract Premise The defining life history strategy of spring ephemeral wildflowers is their avoidance of shading by trees during the brief, high‐light period before canopy leaf out. Studies suggest that spring ephemerals will experience increased light competition because canopy leaf out is more sensitive to warming than is the phenology of spring ...

A study on phenological traits of Abies pindrow (Royle) Spach. in the different sites of Garhwal Himalayas, India [PDF]
Phenology, the timing of various events in a species life cycle, is an important life history trait for both plants and animals. Dharali site situated in the highest altitudinal range i.e.

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.

Budburst and flowering intensity by the spraying of dormancy-breaking products in ‘Eva’ apple trees
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

Timing, light availability and vigour determine the response of Abies alba saplings to leader shoot browsing [PDF]
Herbivore browsing on tree saplings is a common phenomenon that can cause damage particularly on preferred species. In this study, the combined effects of light availability and timing of browsing on the response of 9-year-old Abies alba saplings were ...

Phenological growth stages of Greyia radlkoferi: The phenological growth stages of Greyia radlkoferi were monitored for a period of 3 years from 2018, 2019 and 2020. The flower budding, bud burst, flowering, fading, fruiting, seeding, leaf senescence and vegetative stage were recorded. The tyrosinase inhibitory activity of G.

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 ...
