Xylem growth cessation in stems and branches of European beech and silver birch: influences of temperature and drought Open
Introduction Assessing wood growth phenology over multiple years is essential for understanding the environmental drivers of forest growth and improving large-scale predictions of the carbon cycle. Xylogenesis methods facilitate the assess…

Does drought advance the onset of autumn leaf senescence in temperate deciduous forest trees? Open
Severe droughts are expected to become more frequent and persistent. However, their effect on autumn leaf senescence, a key process for deciduous trees and ecosystem functioning, is currently unclear. We hypothesized that (I) severe drough…

Drought elicits contrasting responses on the autumn dynamics of wood formation in late successional deciduous tree species Open
Research on wood phenology has mainly focused on reactivation of the cambium in spring. In this study we investigated if summer drought advances cessation of wood formation and if it has any influence on wood structure in late successional…

Timing of spring xylogenesis in temperate deciduous tree species relates to tree growth characteristics and previous autumn phenology Open
We explored the timing of spring xylogenesis and its potential drivers in homogeneous mature forest stands in a temperate European region. Three species with contrasting leaf development dynamics and wood anatomy were studied: European bee…

Timeline of autumn phenology in temperate deciduous trees Open
Cessation of xylem formation or wood growth (CWG) and onset of foliar senescence (OFS) are key autumn phenological events in temperate deciduous trees. Their timing is fundamental for the development and survival of trees, ecosystem nutrie…

Does carbon allocation determine the timing of autumn leaf senescence in deciduous trees? Open
<p>Carbon allocation is a crucial process in plants and ecosystems. However, does carbon allocation also impact plant phenology, in particular during autumn? Elucidation of autumn tree phenology is essential as autumn leaf senescence…

Detecting the onset of autumn leaf senescence in deciduous forest trees of the temperate zone Open
Summary Information on the onset of leaf senescence in temperate deciduous trees and comparisons on its assessment methods are limited, hampering our understanding of autumn dynamics. We compare five field proxies, five remote sensing prox…
