Abstract: Functional traits are considered to influence the performance of woody plants. However, few field studies have tested this idea by using radial-growth data. Here, I test if five major traits of the leafand wood-economics spectra… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/f11121250
Abstract: The quantification of climate–growth relationships is a fundamental step in tree-ring sciences. This allows the assessment of functional responses to climate warming, particularly in biodiversity and climate-change hotspots including the Mediterranean Basin. In this region,… read more here.
