Very honored to be part of this selected club!

Looking for a motivated PhD student in Tree phenology and Ecophysiology at WSL. The project combines climate chamber experiments with modelling to understand how temperature, light and water availability affect leaf senescence timing. apply.refline.ch/273855/1788/... #TreePhenology #Ecophysiology

Brand new!

Analyzing tree rings in common garden experiments in oak and beech, we show that phenotypic plasticity drives trait variation in both species. However, oak shows, in contrast to beech, also signs of adaptation and genetically-based plasticity.

Emerging trend of increasing spring frost damage for beech at higher elevations in the Jura Mountains: evidence from tree‐ring data Late spring frost (LSF) severely impacts tree growth and forest productivity, with global warming potentially altering LSF risk due to asymmetric changes in vegetation onset and frost timing.

Wherever you live in the world, your climate is getting warmer.

21st June is #ShowYourStripes day when we encourage everyone to use the warming stripes graphics to talk about climate change and how we are all already experiencing the consequences.

Increased early-season productivity drives earlier peak of vegetation photosynthesis across the Northern Hemisphere - Communications Earth & Environment Earlier peak of vegetation activity across the Northern Hemisphere is mainly driven by enhanced early-season carbon uptake, impacted by an earlier onset of the growing season and higher temperature, b...

🌿 Climate Change Shifts Peak Plant Growth

Earlier, warmer springs are causing plants in the Northern Hemisphere to reach peak photosynthesis sooner, which may limit their ability to absorb carbon later in the season.
