Relationship between the timing of vessel formation and leaf phenology in ten ring-porous and diffuse-porous deciduous tree species [PDF]

, 2013
The goal of this study is to clarify how different aspects of plant function are coordinated developmentally for species of ring-porous versus diffuse-porous deciduous trees, comparing the timing of leaf phenology and vessel formation in twigs and stems ...

Temperature and nutrient availability influence radial growth of Picea abies at opposite slopes in a treeline ecotone [PDF]

Biogeosciences
Treeline ecotones in complex mountain landscapes are exposed to pronounced differences in irradiation and soil nutrient availability. Different amounts of nutrients and direct solar energy can influence tree stem growth, especially in lower parts of a ...

Tree growth response and adaptation to climate change and climate extremes: From canopy to stem

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
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 ...

Effects of soil warming and nitrogen foliar applications on bud burst of black spruce [PDF]

, 2016
Key message: In mature black spruce, bud burst process is anticipated by soil warming, while delayed by foliar applications of nitrogen; however, the effects depend on growth conditions at the site. Abstract: The observation of phenological events can

Tree‐ring structure determines the temporal coordination between xylem growth and the gain in hydraulic conductivity in the outermost ring

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
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 ...

Shaping future forests: how can ecophysiology support climate‐smart forest management?

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2778-2813, June 2026.
Summary Climate change, particularly the associated increase in extreme events and disturbances, threatens the numerous environmental, social, and economic benefits that forests provide, both locally and globally. Heat and drought pose significant risks to forest ecosystems; the anticipated future climate is expected to exacerbate this trend ...

Cambial activity and annual rhythm of xylem production of elephant apple tree (Dillenia indica Linn.) in relation to phenology and climatic factor growing in sub-tropical wet forest of northeast India [PDF]

Trees, 2006
The interrelationship between phenological events, climatic factors, periodicity of cambial activity and seasonal production of xylem was examined in Dillenia indica L. (Dilleniaceae) growing in sub-tropical wet forest of Meghalaya state, India. The reactivation of cambial activity was seen in the first week of May, 15 days after sprouting of new ...

Similar Relative Carbon Costs for Construction and Storage of Sun and Shade Branches in Mature Temperate Trees

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 6, Page 3351-3362, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Irradiance strongly affects the morphology, carbon (C) uptake and construction costs of leaves and branches. Within tree crowns, light decreases from the top downwards, but whether this translates to differences in the C balance of sun and shade branches remains unclear. Here, we combined a light‐driven photosynthesis model, parameterised with

Phloem Girdling of Norway Spruce Alters Quantity and Quality of Wood Formation in Roots Particularly Under Drought

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Carbon (C) availability plays an essential role in tree growth and wood formation. We evaluated the hypothesis that a decrease in C availability (i) triggers mobilization of C reserves in the coarse roots of Picea abies to maintain growth and (ii) causes

Below the leaves: Integrating above‐ and below‐ground phenology for earth‐system predictability

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1251-1269, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Almost every aspect of biological systems has phenology—a pattern in activity or function linked to annual cycles. Most terrestrial phenology research focusses on leaves, the onset of leaf out or senescence.
