DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.16124
Abstract: PREMISE Understanding the drivers of the growth in long-lived woody trees is the key to predicting their responses to and maintaining their populations under global change. However, the role of tree sex and differential investment… read more here.

Herbivore and pathogen effects on tree growth are additive, but mediated by tree diversity and plant traits
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3292
Abstract: Abstract Herbivores and fungal pathogens are key drivers of plant community composition and functioning. The effects of herbivores and pathogens are mediated by the diversity and functional characteristics of their host plants. However, the combined… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4920
Abstract: Abstract The trajectory of tree‐growth response to climate warming may be related to attributes like tree age. However, age‐mediation of temperature sensitivity of tree growth has received little attention. This study aimed to determine how… read more here.

Removing climbers more than doubles tree growth and biomass in degraded tropical forests

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8758
Abstract: Abstract Huge areas of tropical forests are degraded, reducing their biodiversity, carbon, and timber value. The recovery of these degraded forests can be significantly inhibited by climbing plants such as lianas. Removal of super‐abundant climbers… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.2532
Abstract: Soil nutrients influence the distribution of tree species in lowland tropical forests, but their effect on productivity, especially at local scales, remains unclear. We used tree census, canopy occupancy, and soil data from the Barro… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.2878
Abstract: Trees growing near the Arctic treeline have long been used to reconstruct past climates. However, recent studies have shown deterioration of historically strong positive correlations between air temperature and tree growth (known as "divergence"). Divergence… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00035-020-00233-8
Abstract: Treeline isotherms are used in comparative and modelling studies to predict treeline positions. However, how representative local short-term temperature records are for a given region remains poorly understood. Furthermore, the predictive value of on-site temperatures… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00382-020-05179-5
Abstract: Tree growth trends can affect the interpretation of the response of tree-ring proxies (especially tree-ring width) to climate in the low-frequency band, which in turn may limit quantitative understanding of centennial-scale climate variability. As such,… read more here.

Increased water use efficiency leads to decreased precipitation sensitivity of tree growth, but is offset by high temperatures.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-021-04892-0
Abstract: Both increases in temperature and changes in precipitation may limit future tree growth, but rising atmospheric CO2 could offset some of these stressors through increased plant Water Use Efficiency (WUE). The net balance between the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11284-017-1538-0
Abstract: An anomalous reduction in tree growth indices has been detected in tree ring records from many circumpolar northern latitude sites in recent years, which was known as the divergence phenomenon. In order to understand whether… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.agrformet.2020.108030
Abstract: Abstract The boreal biome accounts for approximately one third of the terrestrial carbon (C) sink. However, estimates of its individual C pools remain uncertain. Here, focusing on the southern boreal forest, we quantified the magnitude… read more here.
