(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-12-23)
      Plant functional traits can predict community assembly and ecosystem functioning and are thus widely used in global models of vegetation dynamics and land–climate feedbacks. Still, we lack a global understanding of how ...
    • Inter-individual variability in spring phenology of temperate deciduous trees depends on species, tree size and previous year autumn phenology 

      Marchand, Lorène Julia; Dox, Inge; Gričar, Jožica; Prislan, Peter; Leys, Sebastien; Van den Bulcke, Jan; Fonti, Patrick; Lange, Holger; Matthysen, Erik; Peñuelas, Josep; Zuccarini, Paolo; Campioli, Matteo (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-05-29)
      We explored the inter-individual variability in bud-burst and its potential drivers, in homogeneous mature stands of temperate deciduous trees. Phenological observations of leaves and wood formation were performed weekly ...
    • Timeline of autumn phenology in temperate deciduous trees 

      Dox, Inge; Gričar, Jožica; Marchand, Lorène Julia; Leys, Sebastien; Zuccarini, Paolo; Geron, Charly; Prislan, Peter; Mariën, Bertold; Fonti, Patrick; Lange, Holger; Peñuelas, Josep; Van den Bulcke, Jan; Campioli, Matteo (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-04-27)
      Cessation of xylem formation or wood growth (CWG) and onset of foliar senescence (OFS) are key autumn phenological events in temperate deciduous trees. Their timing is fundamental for the development and survival of trees, ...
