High‐resolution monitoring is fundamental to understand ecosystems dynamics in an era of
global change and biodiversity declines. While real‐time and automated monitoring of …

Climate change is shifting the growing seasons of plants, affecting species performance and
biogeochemical cycles. Yet how the timing of autumn leaf senescence in Northern …

As the climate changes, warmer spring temperatures are causing earlier leaf-out,–and
commencement of CO2 uptake, in temperate deciduous forests, resulting in a tendency …

What is addressed as growing season in terrestrial ecosystems is one of the main
determinants of annual plant biomass production globally. However, there is no well …

Trees remain sufficiently hydrated during drought by closing stomata and reducing canopy
conductance (G c) in response to variations in atmospheric water demand and soil water …

Forests account for nearly 90% of the world's terrestrial biomass in the form of carbon and
they support 80% of the global biodiversity. To understand the underlying forest dynamics …

The impact of climate extremes on forest ecosystems is poorly understood but important for
predicting carbon and water cycle feedbacks to climate. Some knowledge gaps still remain …

European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) has strongly suffered from the exceptional 2018
drought and subsequent dry years that hit Central Europe. While many trees showed severe …

With climate change, the frequency and duration of droughts are increasing, strongly
impacting forest ecosystems. Therefore, a thorough understanding of the factors influencing …

Ongoing climate warming is increasing evapotranspiration, a process that reduces plant-
available water and aggravates the impact of extreme droughts during the growing season …
