Forward Modeling Reveals Multidecadal Trends in Cambial Kinetics and Phenology at Treeline [PDF]
Significant alterations of cambial activity might be expected due to climate warming, leading to growing season extension and higher growth rates especially in cold-limited forests. However, assessment of climate-change-driven trends in intra-annual wood

Asynchronous leaf and cambial phenology in a tree species of the Congo Basin requires space-time conversion of wood traits. [PDF]
AbstractBackground and AimsWood traits are increasingly being used to document tree performance. In the Congo Basin, however, weaker seasonality causes asynchrony of wood traits between trees. Here, we monitor growth and phenology data to date the formation of traits.MethodsFor two seasons, leaf and cambial phenology were monitored on four Terminalia ...

Retrospective Analysis of Wood Anatomical Traits Reveals a Recent Extension in Tree Cambial Activity in Two High-Elevation Conifers [PDF]
The study of xylogenesis or wood formation is a powerful, yet labor intensive monitoring approach to investigate intra-annual tree growth responses to environmental factors.

TIMING OF FALSE RING FORMATION IN PINUS HALEPENSIS AND ARBUTUS UNEDO IN SOUTHERN ITALY: OUTLOOK FROM AN ANALYSIS OF XYLOGENESIS AND TREE-RING CHRONOLOGIES [PDF]
Mediterranean tree rings are characterized by Intra-Annual Density Fluctuations (IADFs) due to partly climate-driven cambial activity. IADFs are used as structural signals to gain information on relations between environmental conditions and eco ...

Intra-annual dynamics of cambial and xylem phenology in subalpine conifers at Deogyusan National Park in the Republic of Korea [PDF]
Subalpine conifers are highly sensitive to climatic changes. In these trees, the intra-annual dynamics of cambial activity and phenological process in xylem development are closely associated with climatic conditions.

Asynchronous xylogenesis among and within tree species in the central Congo Basin [PDF]
Background Xylogenesis is synchronous among trees in regions with a distinct growing season, leading to a forest-wide time lag between growth and carbon uptake.

Divergence in leaf and cambium phenologies among three temperate tree species of different wood types with special reference to xylem hydraulics [PDF]
Leaf and cambium phenologies are both important aspects of tree environmental adaptation in temperate areas. Temperate tree species with non-porous, diffuse-porous and ring-porous woods diverge substantially in the strategy of coping with freezing ...

Long-Term Cambial Phenology Reveals Diverging Growth Responses of Two Tree Species in a Mixed Forest Under Climate Change. [PDF]
ABSTRACTThe net effect of stress induced by climate change on forest functional dynamics remains uncertain. We monitored the dynamics of wood formation and cambial phenology for 11 consecutive years in two co‐occurring tree species with different drought tolerance, Pinus sylvestris and Quercus pyrenaica, providing a unique long‐term xylogenesis dataset

Phenological Shifts in Wood Formation Tracked by Frost Rings Across Two Centuries. [PDF]
Rapid warming is reshaping plant phenology across ecosystems. We present an indirect retrospective approach to infer cambial phenology by analysing the timing and occurrence of frost rings in three Alpine conifers. We found that the cold spells responsible for frost ring formation typically involve temperature dropping below freezing for an average of ...
