Responses of tree species to heat waves and extreme heat events
The number and intensity of heat waves has increased, and this trend is likely to continue
throughout the 21st century. Often, heat waves are accompanied by drought conditions. It is …

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 …
