Timeline of Leaf and Cambial Phenology in Relation to Development of Initial Conduits in Xylem and Phloem in Three Coexisting Sub-Mediterranean Deciduous Tree Species [PDF]
It is unclear how the anticipated climate change will affect the timing of phenology of different tree organs/tissues and thus the whole-tree functioning. We examined the timing of leaf phenology and secondary growth in three coexisting deciduous tree species (Quercus pubescens Willd., Fraxinus ornus L.

A Coupled Model of Hydraulic Eco-Physiology and Cambial Growth - Accounting for Biophysical Limitations and Phenology Improves Stem Diameter Prediction at High Temporal Resolution. [PDF]
ABSTRACTTraditional photosynthesis‐driven growth models have considerable uncertainties in predicting tree growth under changing climates, partially because sink activities are directly affected by the environment but not adequately addressed in growth modelling. Therefore, we developed a semi‐mechanistic model coupling stomatal optimality, temperature

Tonoplast sucrose transporter SUT4-dependent sugar partitioning modulates phenological transitions and reproductive success in poplar. [PDF]
Significance Statement This field study demonstrates that the loss of SUT4, the most highly expressed sucrose transporter during cool seasons, disrupts phenology, growth, and fertility in poplar. Altered sugar and raffinose dynamics in the mutants, along with dysregulated stress and circadian clock genes, underscore SUT4's role in coordinating sugar ...

Cambial Activity and Phenology in Three Understory Species along an Altitude Gradient in Mexico [PDF]
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 (light, soil humidity and temperature) had the greatest influence on cambial activity and ...

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

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

Carbon and oxygen isotope fractionations in tree rings reveal interactions between cambial phenology and seasonal climate [PDF]
AbstractWe developed novel approaches for using the isotope composition of tree‐ring subdivisions to study seasonal dynamics in tree–climate relations. Across a 30‐year time series, the δ13C and δ18O values of the earlywood (EW) cellulose in the annual rings of Pinus ponderosa reflected relatively high intrinsic water‐use efficiencies and high ...

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.
