Topography in tropical forests enhances growth and survival differences within and among species via water availability and biotic interactions

Michael J. O'Brien et al.

Summary: Topography plays a crucial role in promoting diversity in tropical rainforests by filtering species through water availability and driving functional responses to neighbor abundance. Within species, the response of seedlings to changes in neighbor abundance is determined by the topographic seed origin, indicating divergent selective pressures between individuals growing in different topographic environments. These results highlight the importance of topographic heterogeneity in shaping diversity at both the species and population levels in tropical forests.

Response stability of radial growth of Chinese pine to climate change at different altitudes on the southern edge of the Tengger Desert

Dashi Du et al.

Summary: The response of tree growth to climate change varies at different altitudes, with high-altitude trees showing a more stable response to precipitation and middle-low altitude trees being more influenced by temperature. The relationship between trees and climate factors, as well as their growth pattern and resistance, changes with climate change.

Tracheid development under a drought event producing intra-annual density fluctuations in the semi-arid China

Jiani Gao et al.

Summary: Summer drought inhibits cambial division and reduces xylogenesis, while abundant precipitation in mid-July reactivates radial growth, extending the growing season by one month and partly compensating for the negative effects of the drought.

Tree ring anatomy indices of Pinus tabuliformis revealed the shifted dominant climate factor influencing potential hydraulic function in western Qinling Mountains

Yixue Hong et al.

Summary: Trees can adjust their xylem anatomical structure to cope with climate variability, especially in response to temperature and precipitation changes. Different anatomical traits contribute differently to the reinforcement of conduit walls, affecting the response of potential hydraulic functions to climate. Intraannual density fluctuations of Pinus tabuliformis could be a potential indicator of abnormal precipitation events, with stronger and weaker intensity reflecting high and low rates of change in mid-summer precipitation.

Climate warming induced synchronous growth decline in Norway spruce populations across biogeographical gradients since 2000

Michal Bosela et al.

Summary: This study investigated the growth variability and climate sensitivity of 2851 Norway spruce trees in central-eastern Europe. It was found that summer weather significantly affects the radial growth of spruce trees, with the effects varying along biogeographical gradients. Extreme summer heatwaves in 2000 and 2003 reduced growth rates, especially in the southern Carpathians. The increased vulnerability of Norway spruce under warmer climate conditions suggests a need for forest services to replace monocultures with more drought-resilient mixtures.

Divergent tree radial growth at alpine coniferous forest ecotone and corresponding responses to climate change in northwestern China

Xiaofeng Wang et al.

Summary: Global climate change is reshaping the geographical distribution of forests, particularly in mountain regions. The growth rates of Chinese Pine and Qinghai Spruce along the alpine forest ecotone in the Helan Mountains are affected by water shortage and intraspecific competition, leading to differences in tree growth. Climate warming has different effects on the radial growth of these tree species, with Qinghai Spruce being inhibited by rising temperatures while Chinese Pine showing less significant impacts, potentially leading to shifts in their distribution boundaries.

Critical temperatures controlling the phenology and radial growth of Pinus sylvestris var. Mongolica on the southern margin of a cold temperate coniferous forest

Junxia Li et al.

Summary: Temperature plays a critical role in phenology and growth of dominant tree species in cold temperate zones, affecting the structure and function of coniferous forests. Understanding the critical temperatures for radial growth of Mongolian pine in different seasons is important for predicting changes in phenology and growth of conifers in cold temperate regions under warming climate scenarios. The increase in temperature is leading to an advanced and extended xylem growing season, resulting in greater wood production.
