[HTML][HTML] Decoupled leaf-wood phenology in two pine species from contrasting climates: Longer growing seasons do not mean more radial growth

JJ Camarero, F Campelo, M Colangelo… - Agricultural and Forest …, 2022 - Elsevier
Climate warming is expected to lengthen the growing season of tree species and enhance
radial growth rates. Alternatively, a longer growing season could not lead to improved radial …

Intra-annual growth dynamics of Mediterranean pines and junipers determines their climatic adaptability

J Tumajer, VV Shishov, VA Ilyin, JJ Camarero - Agricultural and Forest …, 2021 - Elsevier
Mediterranean trees and shrubs adjust physiological processes to ensure their functioning
under shifting dry conditions. However, little is known about spatial and between-species …

Trends in climatically driven extreme growth reductions of Picea abies and Pinus sylvestris in Central Europe

V Treml, J Mašek, J Tumajer, M Rydval… - Global Change …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library

Douglas fir growth is constrained by drought: delineating the climatic limits of timber species under seasonally dry conditions

A Gazol, C Valeriano, A Cantero, M Vergarechea… - Forests, 2022 - mdpi.com
There is debate on which tree species can sustain forest ecosystem services in a drier and
warmer future. In Europe, the use of non-native timber species, such as Douglas fir …

Growing faster, longer or both? Modelling plastic response of Juniperus communis growth phenology to climate change

J Tumajer, A Buras, JJ Camarero… - Global Ecology and …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Aim Plant growth and phenology respond plastically to changing climatic conditions in both
space and time. Species‐specific levels of growth plasticity determine biogeographical …

An earlier start of growing season can affect tree radial growth through regulating cumulative growth rate

J Kang, Z Yang, B Yu, Q Ma, S Jiang… - Agricultural and Forest …, 2023 - Elsevier
Climate change is profoundly affecting phenology, especially in the Northern Hemisphere.
Nevertheless, how tree radial growth responds to phenological shifts remains to be …
