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 ...

Multivariate trait profiling and genetic diversity in a global foxtail millet germplasm panel

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Four elite foxtail millet groups discovered from 260 accessions: perfect for breeding climate‐resilient, high‐yielding dual‐purpose crops. Abstract Foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.), known for its climate resilience and dual‐purpose utility, is underutilized in breeding programs despite its agricultural potential.

Characteristics of Soil Nematode Communities in Pure Populus hopeiensis Forests in the Loess Hilly Region and Their Responses to Precipitation

Agronomy
To clarify the response mechanisms of soil nematodes as bioindicators of ecosystem health to precipitation variations in loess hilly forests, this study investigated soil nematodes in pure Populus hopeiensis forests across different precipitation ...

Afforestation priority for multiple objectives at national scale: Italy as a case study

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Afforestation is increasingly recognized as a key strategy to address climate change and ecological degradation, offering multiple ecosystem services. However, strategic planning is needed to ensure that afforestation actions are ecologically effective and economically efficient by targeting areas where ecosystem service provision

Paleohydraulics and hydrodynamics of Scabland floods [PDF]

The last major episode of scabland flooding (approx. 18,000-13,000 years B.P.) left considerable high-water mark evidence in the form of: (1) eroded channel margins; (2) depositional features; (3) ice-rafter erratics; and (4) divide crossings. These were

Source‐to‐sink sediment transport reversals during glacial sea‐level lowstands sustain soil formation on pericoastal carbonate terrains

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding the processes that drive soil formation is crucial for developing sustainable land‐use strategies, as changing land‐use practices and climate change exacerbate soil erosion. The formation of substantial arable soils on carbonate bedrock requires substantial dust accretion as the underlying bedrock lacks siliciclastic material. In

Formative Experiences and Welfare State Expectations: A Cohort Analysis of Social Spending Preferences in Switzerland

Social Policy &Administration, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Socioeconomic developments in high‐income countries since the postwar era have induced fundamental changes in the predominant social risks to which people are exposed. This article seeks to determine whether this evolution is accompanied by changing expectations of the welfare state.

Contrasting dynamics of leaf potential and gas exchange during progressive drought cycles and recovery in Amorpha fruticosa and Robinia pseudoacacia

Scientific Reports, 2017
Leaf gas exchange is closely associated with water relations; however, less attention has been given to this relationship over successive drought events.
