Long-term pathological consequences of resin tapping wounds on stems of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.)

Astra Zaluma et al.

Summary: This study investigates the health condition of overmature Pinus sylvestris trees that were injured by resin tapping, and finds that even at a very old age, the trees remain undecayed and vigorous. The study also shows that resin tapping has little influence on the health condition and vitality of the trees.

Growth drivers of monumental wild service tree (Sorbus torminalis) out of its natural range in Kyiv, Ukraine

Yulia Prokopuk et al.

Summary: Wild service tree is a rare and endangered species protected by law in many European countries. This article studied the oldest living wild service trees in Kyiv and evaluated the environmental conditions driving their growth outside their natural range. The results showed that these trees were planted after a certain historical event and revealed their sensitivity to temperature and moisture in the wood formation period in Kyiv.

Refining the standardized growth change method for pointer year detection: Accounting for statistical bias and estimating the deflection period

Allan Buras et al.

Summary: Detecting pointer years is vital for understanding tree growth response to extreme climate events. Previous methods were either too sensitive or insensitive for large scale analyses, prompting the development of a novel approach called BSGC. BSGC outperformed other methods in detecting pointer years, even after successive growth decline, and accurately estimated deflection period lengths.

Champions of winter survival: cold acclimation and molecular regulation of cold hardiness in evergreen conifers

Christine Yao-Yun Chang et al.

Summary: Evergreen conifers adjust metabolism and protect overwintering tissues against winter stresses. Environmental cues regulate signaling pathways that coordinate cold acclimation and cold hardiness. Evolutionary context, climate change impacts, and emerging research areas are important considerations.

pointRes 2.0: New functions to describe tree resilience

Marieke Van der Maaten-Theunissen et al.

Summary: The paper introduces commonly used resilience indices for studying tree growth responses, and discusses new indices and functions implemented in the latest version of the R-package pointRes. These new features aid researchers in better assessing tree resilience and growth patterns.

Growth responses of Pinus sylvestris L. to climate from the southeastern limit of its natural distribution area, Turkey

Arzu Ergul Bozkurt et al.

Summary: Pinus sylvestris, the most widely distributed pine species, was analyzed for its growth responses to temperature and precipitation at 13 sites. The study found that early spring temperature and late spring to early summer precipitation are major drivers of growth, with a threshold for March-April temperature. This non-linear analysis also showed that the response to precipitation was stationary but temperature changed over time.

Investigating the Climate-Growth Response of Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) in Northern Poland

Nella Waszak et al.

Summary: This study in Northern Poland used a 99-year time-series of daily climatic data to determine the climate-growth relationship for Scots Pine. Daily temperature and precipitation data were found to identify climate-growth relationships more precisely than monthly data. The study concluded that at this site, the growing season of Scots pine has shifted earlier, with precipitation now starting as early as February-March.

THE EFFECT OF CLIMATE ON RADIAL GROWTH OF SCOTS PINE (Pinus sylvestris L.) IN A COASTAL MIXED STAND IN KAPISUYU, BARTIN, TURKEY

Halil Baris Ozel et al.

Summary: The study focused on the stand dynamics and climate-growth relationships of Scots pine in an isolated coastal stand in the Western Black Sea Region of Turkey. It found that precipitation had varied effects on radial growth in different months, and that both maximum and minimum temperatures had varying impacts on growth ring width.

Radial growth of Pinus sylvestris in the East Ural Radioactive Trace (EURT): Climate and ionizing radiation

V. V. Kukarskih et al.

Summary: The East Ural Radioactive Trace (EURT) was caused by the Kyshtym accident in Russia in 1957, resulting in the death of Scots pine trees nearby. The study found that both climate and ionizing radiation have limited the radial growth of pine trees.
