Plants in the UK flower a month earlier under recent warming

Ulf Buentgen et al.

Summary: This article presents long-term observations of the first flowering date of plant species in the UK from 1753 to 2019. The study finds that the community-wide first flowering has advanced by almost one month since 1986. The timing of first flowering varies with location and elevation, and these changes can impact the functioning and productivity of ecosystems and agriculture.

Altered growth with blue rings: comparison of radial growth and wood anatomy between trampled and non-trampled Scots pine roots

Pawel Matulewski et al.

Summary: This study provides important insights into wood anatomy and radial growth in tree roots, particularly regarding the effects of ecological factors and trampling on root growth. The study also identifies blue rings in tree roots for the first time. The findings highlight significant growth discrepancies within a single root system and present a new challenge for future dendroecological studies.

Jet stream position explains regional anomalies in European beech forest productivity and tree growth

Summary: The study reveals that extreme changes in the summer jet stream position in Europe create a dipole in beech forest productivity between northwestern and southeastern Europe, resulting in regional anomalies in forest carbon uptake and growth.

Biogeographic implication of temperature-induced plant cell wall lignification

Alan Crivellaro et al.

Summary: More than 200 years after von Humboldt's pioneering work on the treeline, our understanding of the cold distribution limit of upright plant growth is still incomplete. Contrary to popular belief, this study shows that the lignification of cell walls in 'woody' herbs can vary greatly, and small plants above the treeline may contain less lignin. The findings suggest that extremely cold temperatures can affect a plant's ability to lignify their secondary cell walls.

Cell wall dimensions reign supreme: cell wall composition is irrelevant for the temperature signal of latewood density/blue intensity in Scots pine

Jesper Bjorklund et al.

Summary: This study investigates the differences in well-replicated data obtained from parallel X-ray, BI, and dendroanatomical measurements of temperature-sensitive Pinus sylvestris trees from northern Finland. The results indicate that cell wall density and cell wall BI do not affect MXD and MXBI measurements. Even in years with reduced lignification, there is no significant deviation in dendroanatomical MXD measurements compared to MXD or MXBI counterparts. Furthermore, chronologies of cell wall density and cell wall BI show no significant climate signals when correlated with local climate.

Forward Modeling Reveals Multidecadal Trends in Cambial Kinetics and Phenology at Treeline

Jan Tumajer et al.

Summary: The study utilized a process-based model to simulate changes in cambial activity, revealing increased growth rates and extended growing seasons in response to climate warming. However, uncertainties remain in predicting autumn phenological phases, indicating potential limitations in understanding the full range of climate change impacts on tree growth.

Measuring tree-ring widths using the CooRecorder software application

R. Stockton Maxwell et al.

Summary: This article provides a brief overview of measuring tree-ring widths in the software application CooRecorder and offers links to two video tutorials. The first tutorial covers basics like opening files and measuring widths, while the second one delves into more advanced techniques such as setting earlywood-latewood boundaries and inserting missing rings. The videos are available with closed-captioning in English.

Review Ecology

The cold range limit of trees

Christian Korner

Summary: High elevation or latitude lead to tree reaching low-temperature limits, with individual species having their own range limits based on freezing tolerance and overall tree life-form being constrained by thermal growth limits. The treeline defines the cold edge of the fundamental niche, serving as an important bioclimatological reference line, and the absence of trees at the treeline can be attributed to disturbances or biotic interactions. The actual local edge of tree distribution, driven by stochastic effects, is tied to the fundamental niche concept and is crucial in treeline theory and hypothesis testing.
