DOI: 10.1002/ecy.4049
Abstract: There is increasing evidence to suggest that soil nutrient availability can limit the carbon sink capacity of forests, a particularly relevant issue considering today's changing climate. This question is especially important in the tropics, where… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.agrformet.2017.10.029
Abstract: Abstract In boreal forests and alpine treelines, it is debatable how the temperature sensitivity of tree-ring growth should vary with changes in climate over time and the extent to which seasonal stem increments are controlled… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2020.118441
Abstract: Abstract Acute Oak Decline (AOD) is devastating thousands of native oaks, Quercus robur and Q. petraea, in the UK and continental Europe. The syndrome is principally caused by multiple, interacting bacterial species that degrade inner… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.sajb.2020.05.014
Abstract: Abstract Sustainable management strategies for trees are informed by research on growth rates and regeneration. In a 1998 study of bark thickness and tree size, six species (all used for traditional medicine) were sampled by… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/treephys/tpaa085
Abstract: Woody tissue photosynthesis (Pwt) contributes to the tree carbon (C) budget and generally stimulates radial stem growth under ambient atmospheric CO2 concentration (aCO2). Moreover, Pwt has potential to enhance tree survival under changing climates by… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/pbi.13002
Abstract: Summary In perennial woody plants, the coordinated increase of stem height and diameter during juvenile growth improves competitiveness (i.e. access to light); however, the factors underlying variation in stem growth remain unknown in trees. Here,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/plants12101941
Abstract: Ilex verticillata is not only an excellent ornamental tree species for courtyards, but it is also a popular bonsai tree. ‘Oosterwijk’ and ‘Red sprite’ are two varieties of Ilex verticillata. The former has a long… read more here.

Tetraploidization promotes radial stem growth in poplars.

DOI: 10.5511/plantbiotechnology.22.0716a
Abstract: Somatic polyploidization often increases cell and organ size, thereby contributing to plant biomass production. However, as most woody plants do not undergo polyploidization, explaining the polyploidization effect on organ growth in trees remains difficult. Here… read more here.
