High-resolution stem diameter variations (SDV) are widely recognized as a useful drought
stress indicator and have therefore been used in many irrigation scheduling studies. More …

Stem cell populations in meristematic tissues at distinct locations in the plant body provide
the potency of continuous plant growth. Primary meristems, at the apices of the plant body …

Plants store large amounts of non‐structural carbohydrates (NSC). While multiple functions
of NSC have long been recognized, the interpretation of NSC seasonal dynamics is often …

Separating continuously measured stem radius (SR) fluctuations into growth‐induced
irreversible stem expansion (GRO) and tree water deficit‐induced reversible stem shrinkage …

Every existing optimal stomatal model uses photosynthetic carbon assimilation as a proxy
for plant evolutionary fitness. However, assimilation and growth are often decoupled, making …

Wood formation has received considerable attention across various research fields as a key
process to model. Historical and contemporary models of wood formation from various …

Direct evidence for the link between stem diameter variations (SDV) and the daily canopy
water status, ie, daily water potentials (Ψ), is rare, particularly for tall trees. It thus remains …

Substantial uncertainty surrounds our knowledge of tree stem growth, with some of the most
basic questions, such as when stem radial growth occurs through the daily cycle, still …

Faster growth in tropical trees is usually associated with higher mortality rates, but the
mechanisms underlying this relationship are poorly understood. In this study, we investigate …

Dendrometers offer a useful tool for long-term, high-resolution monitoring of tree responses
to environmental fluctuations and climate change. Here, we analyze a 4-year dendrometer …
