Near real-time predictions of tree growth and water deficit TreeNet now produces daily nowcasts of tree growth and water deficit in Switzerland. This is most likely the first comprehensive publication…

Publication in Wald & Holz (in German) Nitrogen is a nutrient that would naturally be in short supply in most forests. Today, however, a lot of reactive nitrogen is carried…

New paper out about the TreeNet infrastructure in Frontiers The paper in Frontiers TreeNet – The biological drought and growth indicator network describes the setup of the research and monitoring network…

The rainy period raised the question of what happens to forest trees during this wet summer. TreeNet gave some answers in interviews with Swiss Radio SRF and Tierwelt magazine. o…

The New Phytologist article ‘Why trees grow at night’, based on TreeNet data (2011-2018), has received a lot of attention in the Swiss and German media. Here is a list…

The timing of diel stem growth of mature forest trees is still largely unknown, as empirical data with high temporal resolution have not been available so far. Consequently, the effects…

Radial stem size changes, measured with automated dendrometers at intra-daily resolution, offer great potential to link environmental conditions with tree physiology at the seasonal scale. Such measurements need to be time-aligned, cleaned…

The TreeNet Annual Meeting 2020 is history. Thanks to everybody who contributed to make this a successful (virtual) event! ProgramTNAM2020

The dataset associated to the recent publication in New Phytologist ‘Determinants of legacy effects in pines – implications from an irrigation-stop experiment’ by Zweifel et al 2020 is available for…

Tree responses to altered water availability range from immediate (e.g. stomatal regulation) to delayed (e.g. crown size adjustment). The interplay of the different response times and processes, and their effects on long-term…
