Forward Modeling Reveals Multidecadal Trends in Cambial Kinetics and Phenology at Treeline [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
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

Timing of cambial phenology of rainforest trees as indicator of climate sensitivity of the Congo Basin biome

Global Ecology and Conservation
The tropical forests of the Congo Basin biome are particularly diverse. The question arises whether the cambial activity of the multitude of tree species shows a periodic signal. Given the anticipated increases in temperature and changes in precipitation

Onset and Seasonal Kinetics of Xylogenesis in Pinus sylvestris L. on the Southern Fringes of Its Distribution Depend on Early Spring Air and Soil Temperature [PDF]

Plants
Climatic variation is inherently linked with tree phenology; however, phenological triggers depend on species and habitat. We analyzed key climatic factors for the onset of secondary growth for Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) at the southern limit of ...

Tree growth response and adaptation to climate change and climate extremes: From canopy to stem. [PDF]

J Integr Plant Biol
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 ...

(In)determinacy in Woody Plants: Limits and Opportunities for Timing Growth in a Changing Climate. [PDF]

Ecol Lett
Tree growth is shaped not only by temperature and water availability, but also by intrinsic developmental programming that constrains when and how long meristems remain active. We use (in)determinacy—the continuum from fixed, preformed seasonal growth to more flexible, ongoing organ production—to predict how species will differ in risk exposure ...

Asynchronous xylogenesis among and within tree species in the central Congo Basin [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology
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]

Frontiers in Plant Science
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 ...

Tree-ring structure determines the temporal coordination between xylem growth and the gain in hydraulic conductivity in the outermost ring. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary The study of seasonal xylem hydraulics has predominantly focused on embolism‐induced losses, whereas growth‐driven increases in hydraulic capacity have received little attention. We assessed the intra‐annual dynamics of xylem formation and gain of conductivity in the current‐year ring of three species with contrasting tree‐ring structure ...

Process-Based Modeling of Phenology and Radial Growth in Pinus tabuliformis in Response to Climate Factors over a Cold and Semi-Arid Region [PDF]

Plants
(1) Background: Climate change significantly impacts the phenology and dynamics of radial tree growth in alpine dryland forests. However, there remains a scarcity of reliable information on the physiological processes of tree growth and cambial phenology

PEP725: 15 years of driving European and global phenology science. [PDF]

New Phytol
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.
