Carbon neutrality of forest biomass for bioenergy: a scoping review
iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2023 The exploitation of forest biomass for bioenergy is commonly perceived as part of a broad strategy for climate change mitigation due to the view that forest biomass is carbon neutral.

New Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 1, Page 97-114, July 2025.Summary Variations of oxygen isotopes δ18O in tree rings provide critical insights into past climate and tree physiological processes, yet the mechanisms shaping the intra‐annual δ18O signals remain incompletely understood. To address this gap, we investigated how seasonal changes in source water, leaf water, and sugars influence δ18O recorded along ...

Ecological thresholds and transformations due to climate change: The role of abiotic stress
Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2025.Abstract An ecological threshold is the point at which a comparatively small environmental change triggers an abrupt and disproportionately large ecological response. In the face of accelerating climate change, there is concern that abrupt ecosystem transformations will become more widespread as critical ecological thresholds are crossed.

Cambial phenology, wood formation and temperature thresholds in two contrasting years at high altitude in Southern Italy [PDF]
, 2008 Xylogenesis was monitored during 2003 and 2004 in a timberline environment in southern Italy to assess links between temperature, cambial phenology and wood formation on a short-time scale.

Xylogenesis in the early life stages of maritime pine [PDF]
Forest Ecology and Management, 2018 Abstract Trees change throughout their life stages, and although age-dependent changes are reported in the literature, the early life stages of trees are often excluded from these studies. The sapling/pole life stage corresponds to the establishment phase of a tree in the forest. To understand how wood formation changes in the early growing stages we

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 48, Issue 2, Page 1445-1451, February 2025.ABSTRACT As an evolutionary achievement of almost all terrestrial plants, lignin biosynthesis is essential for various mechanical and physiological processes. Possible effects of plant cell wall lignification on large‐scale vegetation distribution are, however, not yet fully understood. Here, we present double‐stained, wood anatomical stem measurements

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 48, Issue 2, Page 1344-1365, February 2025.ABSTRACT Traditional 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.

The contribution of carbon and water in modulating wood formation in black spruce saplings [PDF]
, 2016 Nonstructural carbohydrates (NSCs) play a crucial role in xylem formation and represent, with water, the main constraint to plant growth. We assessed the relationships between xylogenesis and NSCs in order to (1) verify the variance explained by NSCs and

Landscape Influences on Microclimate and Tree Growth Cessation in a Semi‐Arid Montane Forest
Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 130, Issue 1, January 2025.Abstract As climate change impacts the severity and frequency of drought, knowledge of hillslope‐to‐watershed scale ecohydrology is increasingly necessary to inform appropriate conservation, restoration, and management of forested ecosystems. In mountain environments, spatial patterns of water and energy organize forest productivity at plot, hillslope,
