Cambial phenology, wood formation and temperature thresholds in two contrasting years at high altitude in Southern Italy [PDF]
Xylogenesis was monitored during 2003 and 2004 in a timberline environment in southern Italy to assess links between temperature, cambial phenology and wood formation on a short-time scale.

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

Cambial phenology in Juniperus przewalskii along different altitudinal gradients in a cold and arid region [PDF]
Knowing more precisely the cambial phenology and wood formation dynamics of trees can lead to a better understanding on how trees react to short-term changes in environmental conditions. Such an understanding could also shed light on the physiological foundation of climate-growth interactions at a regional scale.

Environmental drivers of cambial phenology in Great Basin bristlecone pine [PDF]
The timing of wood formation is crucial to determine how environmental factors affect tree growth. The long-lived bristlecone pine (Pinus longaeva D. K. Bailey) is a foundation treeline species in the Great Basin of North America reaching stem ages of about 5000 years.

Increased frequency and severity of stressful events affects the growth patterns and functioning of trees which adjust their phenology to given conditions. Here, we analysed environmental effects (temperature, precipitation, VPD and SWC) on the timing of leaf phenology, seasonal stem radial growth patterns, and xylem and phloem anatomy of Quercus ...

Cambial Phenology Informs Tree-Ring Analysis of Fire Seasonality in Coastal Plain Pine Savannas [PDF]
Understanding of historical fire seasonality should facilitate development of concepts regarding fire as an ecological and evolutionary process. In tree-ring based fire-history studies, the seasonality of fire scars can be classified based on the position of the fire scar within or between growth rings. Cambial phenology studies are needed to precisely

Living on the edge: contrasted wood-formation dynamics in Fagus sylvatica and Pinus sylvestris under Mediterranean conditions [PDF]
Wood formation in European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) was intra-annually monitored to examine plastic responses of the xylem phenology according to altitude in one of the southernmost areas of their distribution range,

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

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

Growth periodicity in semi‐deciduous tropical tree species from the Congo Basin [PDF]
In the tropics, more precisely in equatorial dense rainforest, xylogenesis is driven by a little distinct climatological seasonality, and many tropical trees do not show clear growth rings.
