“…Species‐specific responses to water fluctuations indicated variations in the plant growth patterns. Bai et al (2020) implied a weaker sensitivity of plantations to environmental factors due to forest tending management, while natural forests are more susceptible to available soil water. However, Yan et al (2018) observed that plantations were visibly affected by water stress and, therefore, more sensitive to environmental changes.…”

“…These conditions may cause a decrease in carbohydrate availability and a decreased growth rate (Michelot et al, 2012;Zhang et al, 2021). Relevant studies based on tree rings and stable carbon isotope have also confirmed the negative effect of summer drought on tree growth on an interannual scale (Li et al, 2019;Bai et al, 2020;Dong et al, 2020).…”

Monitoring cambial activity is important for a better understanding of the mechanisms governing xylem growth responses to climate change, providing a scientific basis for tree-ring-based climate reconstructions and projections about tree growth under future climate scenarios. It plays an even more important role in investigating evergreen tree growth in regions with less distinct seasonal cycles. Subtropical evergreen forests have been studied in recent years for their sensitivity to climate change, but it remains unclear how xylem growth is driven by subtropical climates. To further understand the climate-growth response strategies of subtropical conifers, we micro-cored Cryptomeria fortunei and Cunninghamia lanceolata weekly in 2016 and 2017 at the humid subtropical Gushan Mountain in southeastern China. Our weekly growth monitoring showed that the vegetation periods of these two species were both approximately 2–3 months longer than trees in temperate and boreal forests. The growth of C. fortunei in 2016 and 2017 and C. lanceolata in 2017 showed a bimodal pattern of xylogenesis, which was induced by summer drought. The results also indicated that the earlier end of the xylem formation was related to the yearly drought stress. These findings provide more specific information about tree growth and evidence of how climate influences wood production at the cellular level in subtropical regions.
