Multi‐year lags in tree drought recovery, termed 'drought legacy effects', are important for
understanding the impacts of drought on forest ecosystems, including carbon (C) cycle …

Large, majestic trees are iconic symbols of great age among living organisms. Published
evidence suggests that trees do not die because of genetically programmed senescence in …

The growth of past, present, and future forests was, is and will be affected by climate
variability. This multifaceted relationship has been assessed in several regional studies, but …

The timing of diel stem growth of mature forest trees is still largely unknown, as empirical
data with high temporal resolution have not been available so far. Consequently, the effects …

Energy and water limitations of tree growth remain insufficiently understood at large
spatiotemporal scales, hindering model representation of interannual or longer-term …

Large projected increases in forest disturbance pose a major threat to future wood fiber
supply and carbon sequestration in the cold-limited, Canadian boreal forest ecosystem …

A valid representation of intra‐annual wood formation processes in global vegetation
models is vital for assessing climate change impacts on the forest carbon stock. Yet, wood …

Severe drought can cause lagged effects on tree physiology that negatively impact forest
functioning for years. These “drought legacy effects” have been widely documented in tree …

Tree rings provide an invaluable long‐term record for understanding how climate and other
drivers shape tree growth and forest productivity. However, conventional tree‐ring analysis …

The role of future forests in global biogeochemical cycles will depend on how different tree
species respond to climate. Interpreting the response of forest growth to climate change …
