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. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🚨 Check out our new study! 🌳🥶 Tree rings show that high-elevation beech forests are experiencing more spring frost damage in recent years @newphyt.bsky.social @yannvit.bsky.social #Phenology #Dendrochronology doi.org/10.1111/nph....

🌿 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. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s43... #ClimateChange #SciComm 🌍 🧪
