DOI: 10.1016/j.agrformet.2021.108568
Abstract: Abstract Fluctuations in weather conditions, particularly precipitation and water availability, may strongly affect growth rate patterns and lead to interannual height growth variation. Consequently, height growth models developed using airborne laser scanning (ALS) data collected… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2019.06.022
Abstract: Abstract The adaptive capacity of boreal tree species to thrive in a warming, more variable climate has significant implications for boreal forest ecosystem structure and function. Dendrochronological and other empirical data indicate reduced growth and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2022.1034
Abstract: While droughts, intensified by climate change, have been affecting forests worldwide, pest epidemics are a major source of uncertainty for assessing drought impacts on forest trees. Thus far, little information has documented the adaptability and… read more here.
