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.

Emerging trend of increasing spring frost damage for beech at higher elevations in the Jura Mountains: evidence from tree‐ring data
Late spring frost (LSF) severely impacts tree growth and forest productivity, with global warming potentially altering LSF risk due to asymmetric changes in vegetation onset and frost timing. Howeve.....

🌿 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.
