1. Phloem : a missing link in understanding tree growth response in a changing environmentJožica Gričar, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Although the activities of various tree organs and tissues are under different environmental and internal constraints, they need to be coordinated to ensure whole-tree functioning. Dusart et al. (2024) conducted a heating experiment on branches of Juglans regia saplings during the entire growing season to examine the effect of temperature on primary (bud) and secondary (xylem) growth. They found that primary and secondary meristems responded asynchronously to elevated temperature, which suggests that lack of coordination mechanisms between primary and secondary growth at crown scale could have a potential impact on canopy and tree architecture.

2. Low growth resilience to drought is related to future mortality risk in treesLucía De Soto, Maxime Cailleret, Frank Sterck, Steven Jansen, Koen Kramer, Elisabeth M.R. Robert, Tuomas Aakala, Mariano M. Amoroso, Christof Bigler, Jesus Julio Camarero, Katarina Čufar, Tom Levanič, 2020, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Severe droughts have the potential to reduce forest productivity and trigger tree mortality. Most trees face several drought events during their life and therefore resilience to dry conditions might be crucial to long-term survival. We assess how growth resilience to severe droughts, including its components resistance and recovery, is related to the ability to survive future droughts by using a tree-ring database of surviving and now-dead trees from 118 sites (22 species, >3,500 trees). We find that, across the variety of regions and species sampled, trees that died during water shortages were less resilient to previous non-lethal droughts, relative to coexisting surviving trees of the same species. In angiosperms, drought-related mortality risk is associated with lower resistance (low capacity to reduce impact of the initial drought), while it is related to reduced recovery (low capacity to attain pre-drought growth rates) in gymnosperms. The different resilience strategies in these two taxonomic groups open new avenues to improve our understanding and prediction of drought-induced mortality. Resilience to drought is crucial for tree survival under climate change. Here, DeSoto et al. show that trees that died during drought were less resilient to previous dry events compared to surviving conspecifics, but the resilience strategies differ between angiosperms and gymnosperms.
