Projected changes in temperature and drought regime are likely to reduce carbon (C)
storage in forests, thereby amplifying rates of climate change. While such reductions are …

Severe droughts can impart long‐lasting legacies on forest ecosystems through lagged
effects that hinder tree recovery and suppress whole‐forest carbon uptake. However, the …

On vegetation-covered land surfaces, tree transpiration, compared to soil and canopy
evaporation, is a major process that sends large amounts of water back to the atmosphere …

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 …

Balsam fir (Abies balsamea) is one of the most abundant softwood species in eastern
Canada but is projected to be adversely affected by climate change. Balsam fir decline could …

Tree growth is one of the most studied aspects of tree biology, particularly secondary growth.
In the Mediterranean region, cambial activity is mostly determined by water availability …

Different stomatal behaviors among species under drought conditions may affect species-
specific seasonal variations in photosynthesis and water use efficiency (WUE), and could …

The area covered by boreal forests accounts for∼ 16% of the global and 22% of the
Northern Hemisphere landmass. Changes in the productivity and functioning of this …

Eddy covariance methodologies have greatly improved our understanding of the forest
carbon cycle, including controls over year-to-year variability in productivity (measured as net …

Aims Shifts in xylem phenology directly determine the forest capacity for carbon
sequestration. However, a systematic understanding of the spatial patterns and the …
