Mediterranean tree species have evolved to face seasonal water shortages, but may fail to
cope with future increases in drought frequency and intensity. We investigated stem radial …

The introduction of tree species raises the question of whether they find suitable conditions
in their secondary range and whether they can successfully adapt to the new conditions in …

During the last two decades the tropical Amazon forests have been impacted by frequent
and severe droughts. However, little is known about the impacts of these extreme events on …

Wood characteristics and properties are related to various factors connected to the
biochemical processes that occur in the tree during wood formation, but also, to the …

Background and Objectives—Coexisting tree and shrub species will have to withstand more
arid conditions as temperatures keep rising in the Mediterranean Basin. However, we still …

Abstract Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) Hook.) is a native tree species
endemic to China and produces timber with high economic value. It is essential to select a …

Abstract Background and Aims Understanding the genetic basis of adaptation and plasticity
in trees constitutes a knowledge gap. We linked dendrochronology and genomics [single …

Trees can adjust xylem anatomical structure related with potential hydraulic functions to
cope with climate variability. We therefore need a better understanding of how climate …

There is a lack of knowledge on how tree species respond to climatic constraints like water
shortages and related atmospheric patterns across broad spatial and temporal scales …

Wood density is one of the most important physical properties of the wood, used in
improvement programs for wood quality of major timber species. Traditional core sampling …
