Abstract Purpose of Review Producing wood of the right quality is an important part of forest
management. In the same way that forest growth models are valuable decision support tools …

There have been vociferous calls for 'tree-centered'vegetation models to refine predictions of
forest carbon (C) cycling. Unfortunately, our global survey at flux-tower sites indicates …

Covering large parts of Europe, Norway spruce (Picea abies L Karst.) plays an important
role in the adaptation strategy of forest services to future climate change. Although …

In this century, one of the main objectives of agriculture is sustainability addressed to
achieve food security, based on the improvement of use efficiency of farm resources, the …

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 …

Recent methodological advances have opened new perspectives for tropical
dendrochonological studies by facilitating the visualization, delimitation, and analyses of …

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

The kinetics of wood formation in angiosperms are largely unknown because their complex
xylem anatomy precludes using the radial position of vessels and fibers to infer their time of …

The response of trees to intra‐annual environmental constraints varies temporally
throughout a growing season and spatially across landscapes. A better understanding of …

As a consequence of native tree species decline and distribution range contraction in
Europe, acclimation of the non-native tree species at the edge of their distribution is gaining …
