Key message We demonstrate that, beyond leaf phenology, the phenological cycles of wood
and fine roots present clear responses to environmental drivers in temperate and boreal …

Some disturbances can drive ecological systems to abrupt shifts between alternative stages
(tip** points) when critical transitions occur. Drought‐induced tree death can be …

The interaction between xylem phenology and climate assesses forest growth and
productivity and carbon storage across biomes under changing environmental conditions …

Monitoring cambial phenology and intra-annual growth dynamics is a useful approach for
characterizing the tree growth response to climate change. However, there have been few …

Long-lived plants need to continuously adjust their structure to fit the changing
environmental constraints. Xylem and phloem growth represent both the means used to …

Conifer tree rings are generally composed of large, thin‐walled cells of light earlywood
followed by narrow, thick‐walled cells of dense latewood. Yet, how wood formation …

This study compared the densest available database of tree-ring growth with the longest
Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) information available at the global scale to …

Growth models can be used to assess forest vulnerability to climate warming. If global
warming amplifies water deficit in drought‐prone areas, tree populations located at the driest …

Radial stem growth dynamics at seasonal resolution are essential to understand how forests
respond to climate change. We studied daily radial growth of 160 individuals of seven …

It is noteworthy that the largest part of global vegetation biomass depends on a thin layer of
cells: the vascular cambium. Understanding the wood formation processes and relationships …
