Mountain forests are important ecosystems subject to extreme climate conditions. Soil buffers root systems against variations in the weather, but we know little of how climate affects tree root growth and mortality...

Temperature responses of photosynthesis under elevated CO2
Plants growing under elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations often have reduced stomatal conductance and subsequently increased leaf temperature. Ε igut et al. find that this is indeed the case for broadleaved Fagus...

Responses of beech and spruce foliage to elevated carbon dioxide, increased nitrogen deposition and soil type
Although enhanced carbon fixation by forest trees may contribute significantly to mitigating an increase in atmospheric CO2, capacities for this fixation vary greatly among different tree species and locations. In a...

Tree root density model for heterogeneous forest ecosystems
This study reveals a new model for predicting root density which focuses on the spatial distribution of root density at the tree cluster scale.
Freezing-related CO2 bursts reduce winter embolism
Results indicate that not all gases dissolved in the xylem sap are trapped within the ice in the stem of Scots pine and Norway spruce, during freezing.
Tensile properties of bamboo responsible for its mechanical performance
A study of the mechanical properties of single fibres and tissue slices of stems of mature moso bamboo and latewood of spruce.
