Leaf reddening during autumn in senescing, deciduous tree species has received
widespread attention from the public and in the scientific literature, whereas leaf reddening …

Leaf colour change is commonly observed in temperate deciduous forests in autumn. This is
not simply a side effect of leaf senescence, and, in the past decade, several hypotheses …

The widespread phenomenon of red and yellow autumn leaves has recently attracted
considerable scientific attention. The fact that this phenomenon is so prominent in the cooler …

than 80 papers discussing it. Archetti (2009a) has already described red autumn colouration
in 290 temperate tre species belonging to 70 genera, and stated that the full list probably …

Leaf N, LMA, photosynthesis and leaf longevity represent the major axes of the leaf
economics spectrum, which account for an estimated 75% of interspecific variation in key …

Several recent reviews highlight the molecular mechanisms that underpin phenological
responses to temperature and photoperiod; however, these have mostly overlooked the …

Why the leaves of many woody species accumulate anthocyanins prior to being shed has
long puzzled biologists because it is unclear what effects anthocyanins may have on leaf …

Red or yellow autumn leaves have long fascinated biologists, but their geographical
concentration in trees in Eastern North America (ENA) has defied evolutionary explanations …

Under apparently similar field conditions individual plants of Cistus creticus turn transiently
red during winter, while neighbouring plants remain green. These two phenotypes provide a …

Photoprotection mechanisms have been studied during autumnal senescence in sun and
shade leaves of woody plants with different ecological characteristics and senescence …
