Recurrent climate-driven disturbances impact on the health of European forests that reacted
with increased tree dieback and mortality over the course of the last four decades. There is …

Drought legacies in radial tree growth are an important feature of variability in biomass
accumulation and are widely used to characterize forest resilience to climate change …

Recent experiments have underlined the potential of δ2H in tree-ring cellulose as a
physiological indicator of shifts in autotrophic versus heterotrophic processes (ie, the use of …

Key message Patterns of non-structural carbohydrate allocation in dry and wet differ
between birch and larch in southern boreal forest. Abstract An increasing area of boreal …

Introduction Quantitative wood anatomy is critical for establishing climate reconstruction
proxies, understanding tree hydraulics, and quantifying carbon allocation. Its accuracy …

Forests are widely affected by disturbances, both abiotic, climate related, and biotic, like
insect outbreaks. However, the impact of the interaction of these disturbances on tree growth …

The ability of forests to provide ecosystem services and renewable goods faces several
challenges related to insect defoliation. Spruce budworm outbreaks represent one of the …

A bimodal radial growth (RG) pattern, ie, growth peaks in spring and autumn, was
repeatedly found in trees in the Mediterranean regions, where summer drought causes …

Key message A ratio of storage to growth of at least 8.4 and a balanced storage-growth
relationship might be essential for subalpine larch trees to persist at the treeline. Abstract …

Why this research Matters Phenotypic plasticity is a key mechanism for sedentary long‐living
species to adjust to changing environment. Here, we use mature Larix decidua tree‐ring …
