Asynchronous leaf and cambial phenology in a tree species of the Congo Basin requires space–time conversion of wood traits [PDF]

Annals of Botany, 2019
Background and Aims: Wood 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

Growth periodicity in semi‐deciduous tropical tree species from the Congo Basin [PDF]

Plant-Environment Interactions
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.

Retrospective Analysis of Wood Anatomical Traits Reveals a Recent Extension in Tree Cambial Activity in Two High-Elevation Conifers

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
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.

Variation in Onset of Leaf Unfolding and Wood Formation in a Central African Tropical Tree Species

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021
A diversity of phenological strategies has been reported for tropical tree species. Defoliation and seasonal dormancy of cambial activity inform us on how trees cope with water stress during the dry season, or maximize the use of resources during the ...

Response of model-based cambium phenology and climatic factors to tree growth in the Altai Mountains, Central Asia

Ecological Indicators, 2022
It is important to study the relationships between tree growth and phenology and climate factors in Central Asia for the sustainable development of forest ecology and the exploration of carbon sink potential in the region in a context of global change ...

Climatic regulation of leaf and cambial phenology in Quercus pubescens : their interlinkage and impact on xylem and phloem conduits [PDF]

, 2023
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

Cambial growth season of brevi-deciduous Brachystegia spiciformis trees from south central Africa restricted to less than four months. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
We investigate cambial growth periodicity in Brachystegia spiciformis, a dominant tree species in the seasonally dry miombo woodland of southern Africa. To better understand how the brevi-deciduous (experiencing a short, drought-induced leaf fall period)

Environmental Drivers for Cambial Reactivation of Qilian Junipers (Juniperus przewalskii) in a Semi-Arid Region of Northwestern China

Atmosphere, 2020
Although cambial reactivation is considered to be strongly dependent on temperature, the importance of water availability at the onset of xylogenesis in semi-arid regions still lacks sufficient evidences.

Site and provenance interact to influence seasonal diameter growth of Pseudotsuga menziesii

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023
Phenology of diameter growth in trees has been studied for many years but generally using a limited number of sites and genotypes. In this project provenances of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var.

Cambial Activity and Phenology in Three Understory Species along an Altitude Gradient in Mexico

, 2021
The aims of this study were to evaluate the cambial activity and phenology of three species with different life forms (Alchemilla procumbens, Acaena elongata and Ribes ciliatum) along an altitudinal gradient and to establish which environmental variables
