On-going climate change is increasing the risk of drought stress across large areas
worldwide. Such drought events decrease ecosystem productivity and have been …

In seasonally cold climates, many woody plants tolerate chilling and freezing temperatures
by ceasing growth, shedding leaves and entering dormancy. At the same time, transport …

Quantitative wood anatomy analyzes the variability of xylem anatomical features in trees,
shrubs, and herbaceous species to address research questions related to plant functioning …

The interaction between xylem phenology and climate assesses forest growth and
productivity and carbon storage across biomes under changing environmental conditions …

Wood development is strictly regulated by various phytohormones and auxin plays a central
regulatory role in this process. However, how the auxin signaling is transducted in …

Climate scenarios for Slovenia suggest an increase in the mean annual temperature by 2° C
over the next six decades, associated with changes in the seasonal distribution of …

Here, we present one of the first attempts to use a machine learning model for the prediction
and interpretation of tree basal area increment (BAI) based on data from the National Forest …

Future seasonal dynamics of wood formation in hyperarid environments are still unclear.
Although temperature‐driven extension of the growing season and increased forest …

A number of studies have suggested that growing season length determines carbon
sequestration of forest ecosystems. Given the possibility that drought-induced growth …

The study of xylogenesis or wood formation is a powerful, yet labor intensive monitoring
approach to investigate intra-annual tree growth responses to environmental factors …
