Influence of Climate Change on Tree Growth and Forest Ecosystems: More Than Just Temperature

Abstract

Recent research has shown that climate change is already altering tree species ranges, mortality and growth rates [...]

Adaptive mechanism in Quercus brantii Lindl. leaves under climatic differentiation: morphological and anatomical traits

“…Climate change, particularly temperature and precipitation changes, will be of great importance in semi-arid areas 33 . It is possible for climate change to undermine the delicate balance within ecosystems as a result of the impacts on tree species 34 , as tree growth patterns change markedly.…”

“…It is possible for climate change to undermine the delicate balance within ecosystems as a result of the impacts on tree species 34 , as tree growth patterns change markedly. Currently, forest ecosystems and tree species are being studied in detail to understand the responses to climate change 33 .…”

From winter sleep to spring wake-up : elucidating how temperature and daylength affect dormancy and budburst in temperate deciduous trees

“…Phenological shifts are among the most sensitive ecological responses to environmental drivers, including climate change (Menzel et al 2006;Stenseth et al 2002). Temperature has been identified as the main environmental factor that influences phenology and the development of leaves and wood (Blanco, González De Andrés, and Lo 2021;Overdieck, Ziche, and Bottcher-Jungclaus 2007).…”
