Extreme droughts, heat waves, frosts, precipitation, wind storms and other climate extremes
may impact the structure, composition and functioning of terrestrial ecosystems, and thus …

Tree-ring records can provide valuable information to advance our understanding of
contemporary terrestrial carbon cycling and to reconstruct key metrics in the decades …

Uncertainties surrounding tree carbon allocation to growth are a major limitation to
projections of forest carbon sequestration and response to climate change. The prevalence …

Heatwaves exert disproportionately strong and sometimes irreversible impacts on forest
ecosystems. These impacts remain poorly understood at the tree and species level and …

The impacts of climate extremes on terrestrial ecosystems are poorly understood but
important for predicting carbon cycle feedbacks to climate change. Coupled climate–carbon …

Tree mortality is a key factor influencing forest functions and dynamics, but our
understanding of the mechanisms leading to mortality and the associated changes in tree …

A valid representation of intra‐annual wood formation processes in global vegetation
models is vital for assessing climate change impacts on the forest carbon stock. Yet, wood …

Wood is the main terrestrial biotic reservoir for long-term carbon sequestration 1, and its
formation in trees consumes around 15% of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions each …

Tree‐rings offer one of the few possibilities to empirically quantify and reconstruct forest
growth dynamics over years to millennia. Contemporaneously with the growing scientific …

Interannual variability of wood density–an important plant functional trait and environmental
proxy–in conifers is poorly understood. We therefore explored the anatomical basis of …
