Wetter winters amplify temperature effects on fine root growth and increase tree growth in north-eastern European beech forests Open
Winters are predicted to become wetter in large parts of the temperate zone over the next century. Additionally, warmer temperatures will shift precipitation from snow towards rain, reducing soil insulation. To better understand the effect…

Higher ploidy coincides with inferior performance and no difference in stress tolerance in reed Open
Summary (1) Climate change leads to more extreme weather events. Therefore, a high stress tolerance is becoming more critical for plants, with higher ploidy being reported to lead to higher stress tolerance. Phragmites australis ( P. austr…

Seasonal dynamics of fine root length in European beech: unveiling unexpected winter peaks and summer declines Open
Fine roots play a crucial role in many ecological and biogeochemical processes in temperate forests. Generally, fine root biomass is expected to increase during the growing season, when water and nutrient demands are high, but information …

High nitrate and sulfate leaching in response to wetter winters in temperate beech forests Open
Climate models project moderate to large increases in air temperature for most temperate ecosystems with an overall increase in winter precipitation and a shift from snow towards rain. We investigated the effects of increased winter rainfa…

Inter-Individual Budburst Variation in Fagus sylvatica Is Driven by Warming Rate Open
The onset of the growing season in temperate forests is relevant for forest ecology and biogeochemistry and is known to occur earlier with climate change. Variation in tree phenology among individual trees of the same stand and species, ho…
