Groundwater and Remotely Sensed Phenology Reveal Vulnerability of Riparian Trees to Drought
We asked how vulnerable riparian trees are to droughts, examining their water use and growing season timing and duration via groundwater data and satellite imagery. Drought shortened the growing season by up to 5 weeks for trees growing along river sections that dry up seasonally.

Identification of a homolog of Arabidopsis DSP4 (SEX4) in chestnut: its induction and accumulation in stem amyloplasts during winter or in response to the cold_ [PDF]
Oligosaccharide synthesis is an important cryoprotection strategy used by woody plants during winter dormancy. At the onset of autumn, starch stored in the stem and buds is broken down in response to the shorter days and lower temperatures resulting in ...

Deep learning meets tree phenology modelling: PhenoFormer versus process‐based models
Abstract Predicting phenology, that is the timing of seasonal events of plant life such as leaf emergence and colouration in relation to climate fluctuations, is essential for anticipating future changes in carbon sequestration and tree vitality in temperate forest ecosystems.

Abstract Vegetation phenology studies the periodic recurrence of plant life‐cycle events and is essential for understanding ecosystem responses to environmental changes. Remote sensing has become a key tool for monitoring phenological events on large spatial and temporal scales, primarily using vegetation indices like the Normalized Difference ...

Performance of the ‘Anna’ apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) in Tropical Highlands: A review
The 'Anna' apple is a variety of low requirements of winter chill (250 to 300 chilling hours ≤7.2°C). This apple has essential health benefits and remarkable adaptive potential in tropical and subtropical areas affected by climate change.

Evidence of drought stress memory in the facultative CAM, Aptenia cordifolia: Possible role of phytohormones [PDF]
Although plant responses to drought stress have been studied in detail in several plant species, including CAM plants, the occurrence of stress memory and possible mechanisms for its regulation are still very poorly understood.

Summary The spring phenology has advanced significantly over recent decades with climate change, impacting large‐scale biogeochemical cycles, climate feedback, and other essential ecosystem processes. Although numerous prognostic models have been developed for spring phenology, regional analyses of the optimality (OPT) strategy model that incorporate ...

Delayed chilling appears to counteract flowering advances of apricot in southern UK [PDF]
Temperatures are rising across the globe, and the UK is no exception. Spring phenology of perennial fruit crops is to a large extent determined by temperature during effective chilling (endo-dormancy) and heat accumulation (eco-dormancy) periods.

A General Model for the Seasonal to Decadal Dynamics of Leaf Area
We extend the theoretical basis for understanding how climate affects ecosystem processes and provide an optimality‐based model to predict the seasonal dynamics of leaf phenology in response to climate change that could improve land‐surface models. ABSTRACT Leaf phenology, represented at the ecosystem scale by the seasonal dynamics of leaf area index ...
