The timing of diel stem growth of mature forest trees is still largely unknown, as empirical
data with high temporal resolution have not been available so far. Consequently, the effects …

Radial stem size changes, measured with automated dendrometers at intra-daily resolution,
offer great potential to link environmental conditions with tree physiology at the seasonal …

Understanding the effects of temperature and moisture on radial growth is vital for assessing
the impacts of climate change on carbon and water cycles. However, studies observing …

Abstract Background Stone pine (Pinus pinea), a drought-resistant species, has significant
socio-economic benefits and increasing interest for the establishment of productive …

Increased tree mortality related to water limitation is documented for various species at
different sites globally. Nevertheless, our understanding of tree mortality effects on soil …

The TreeNet research and monitoring network has been continuously collecting data from
point dendrometers and air and soil microclimate using an automated system since 2011 …

Wood is a sustainable natural resource and an important global commodity. According to the
'moon wood theory', the properties of wood, including its growth and water content, are …

Stem growth responses to soil and atmospheric drought are critical to forecasting the tree
carbon sink strength. Yet, responses of drought‐prone forests remain uncertain despite …

Traditional photosynthesis‐driven growth models have considerable uncertainties in
predicting tree growth under changing climates, partially because sink activities are directly …

Boreal forests are exposed to larger and more frequent fires due to climate change, with
significant consequences for their carbon and water balances. Low-severity fires (trees …
