How do tropical #trees deal with droughts? The answer is published today in @science.org
Our pantropical #treering analysis revealed 2.5% growth reduction during #drought years. Yet, growth declined by >10% in 1/4 of 500 study sites, and in hotter & drier regions.

Pantropical tree rings show small effects of drought on stem growth
Increasing drought pressure under anthropogenic climate change may jeopardize the potential of tropical forests to capture carbon in woody biomass and act as a long-term carbon dioxide sink. To evalua...

Neighborhood competition improves biomass estimation for Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) but not Pyrenean oak (Quercus pyrenaica Willd.) in young mixed forest stands
Neighborhood competition is a critical driver of individual tree growth, and aboveground biomass (AGB) accumulation, which play key roles in forest dy…

🎉 Publication Alert! 🎉
I’m thrilled to share that my 3rd PhD chapter has been published in Ecological Indicators!
In this work, we explored how various species respond to their growing conditions, focusing on how these responses are reflected in crown shapes and tree ring patterns.🌳✨
