An earlier start of the thermal growing season enhances tree growth in cold humid areas but not in dry areas
Climatic warming alters the onset, duration and cessation of the vegetative season. While
previous studies have shown a tight link between thermal conditions and leaf phenology …

Why trees grow at night
R Zweifel, F Sterck, S Braun, N Buchmann… - New …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Warm springs alter timing but not total growth of temperate deciduous trees
As the climate changes, warmer spring temperatures are causing earlier leaf-out,–and
commencement of CO2 uptake, in temperate deciduous forests, resulting in a tendency …

Drought impacts on tree carbon sequestration and water use–evidence from intra‐annual tree‐ring characteristics
The impact of climate extremes on forest ecosystems is poorly understood but important for
predicting carbon and water cycle feedbacks to climate. Some knowledge gaps still remain …

A critical thermal transition driving spring phenology of Northern Hemisphere conifers
Despite growing interest in predicting plant phenological shifts, advanced spring phenology
by global climate change remains debated. Evidence documenting either small or large …

Number of growth days and not length of the growth period determines radial stem growth of temperate trees
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 …

Partial asynchrony of coniferous forest carbon sources and sinks at the intra-annual time scale
As major terrestrial carbon sinks, forests play an important role in mitigating climate change.

Diel and seasonal stem growth responses to climatic variation are consistent across species in a subtropical tree community
Understanding how intra‐annual stem growth responds to atmospheric and soil conditions
is essential for assessing the effects of climate extremes on forest productivity. In species …
