Woody Vegetation Dynamics Beyond the Treeline: Identifying Limiting Processes and Their Tipping Points

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
Illustration of temporal trends in Arctic and alpine woody vegetation under changing growth conditions (summer temperature and winter snowpack). Upper panel: example of shrub expansion in southern France (photograph included). Greening is detected via increasing NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index).

Metabolite changes in conifer buds and needles during forced bud break in Norway spruce (Picea abies) and European silver fir (Abies alba)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014
Environmental changes such as early spring and warm spells induce bud burst and photosynthetic processes in cold-acclimated coniferous trees and consequently, cellular metabolism in overwintering needles and buds.

Cold acclimation and deacclimation in wild blueberry: Direct and indirect influence of environmental factors and non-structural carbohydrates [PDF]

, 2021
International audienceThrough the annual cycle of plant growth and dormancy, the winter season leads to profound metabolic changes allowing plants to undergo cold acclimation.

Transcriptomic stress responses in Vaccinium spp. F1 hybrids: Implications for temperature‐resilient cranberry breeding using a crop wild relative

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1715-1732, September 2026.
Climate extremes threaten the sustainability of cranberry production, a culturally and economically important North American crop. This study demonstrates that wild cranberries (Vaccinium oxycoccos) harbor genetic variation that may enhance cold stress resilience when introduced into cultivated cranberry through hybridization.

Living on the edge – physiological tolerance to frost and drought explains range limits of 35 European tree species

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Species distribution models are key to evaluate how climate change threatens European forests and tree species distributions. However, current models struggle to integrate ecophysiological processes. Mechanistic models are complex and have high parameter requirements.

Natural variation of cold deacclimation correlates with variation of cold-acclimation of the plastid antioxidant system in Arabidopsis thaliana accessions

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Temperature variations impact on the balance between photosynthetic electron transport and electron-consuming assimilation reactions and transiently increase generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Models for Estimating the Cold Hardiness of Sweet Cherry (Prunus avium cv. Sweetheart and Lapins) in Cold Climate Regions

HortScience, 2023
Plant cold hardiness is a dynamic process, and seasonal changes occur through cold acclimation and deacclimation to help prevent lethal injury from the cold.

Deacclimation and reacclimation of apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.), blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum L.) and raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) shoots and buds under controlled conditions [PDF]

, 2021
In the future climate scenario the transient warm spells during winter are predicted to become more frequent and potentially increase the risk of frost damage in perennial horticultural crops.

Temperate tree species show cross‐tolerance to heat, drought, and late spring‐frost stress

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 1625-1630, August 2026.
Significant cross‐tolerance of leaf traits to heat, drought and late spring‐frost were found. (a) Turgor loss point vs lethal spring‐frost temperature. (b) Heat thermal threshold temperature vs lethal spring‐frost temperature. (c) Heat thermal threshold temperature vs turgor loss point.

Physiology of Cold Acclimation and Deacclimation Responses of Cool-season Grasses: Carbon and Hormone Metabolism

, 2014
Winter injury of cool-season turfgrasses in northern climates is a significant issue, leading to losses in turf cover and subsequent increased inputs for recovery.
