[HTML][HTML] Seasonal precipitation and continentality drive bimodal growth in Mediterranean forests
Tree phenology is sensitive to climate warming and changes in seasonal precipitation. Long
xylogenesis records are scarce, thus limiting our ability to analyse how radial growth …

The physiological mechanisms behind the earlywood-to-latewood transition: a process-based modeling approach
In extratropical ecosystems, the growth of trees is cyclic, producing tree rings composed of
large-lumen and thin-walled cells (earlywood) alternating with narrow-lumen and thick …
