Wie man die Bäume wachsen hört – Das faszinierende Universum Wald bietet viele Geheimnisse: Seiner komplexen Natur sind Wissenschaftler nun auch mit Hörgeräten auf der Spur. Artikel in der Sonntagszeitung,…

Radial stem growth of trees (GRO) occurs mainly during the night. Daylight hours show systematically lower growth. The columns in the figure below indicate how much of the annual growth…

Tree species have their specific climatic niches in which they grow. Norway spruce at the subalpine site Seehornwald Davos grows best at temperatures around 12°C whereas Scotts pine shows optimal…

Radial stem growth of trees is limited to a relatively short time period of the year in spring and summer. The timing of the growth period depends on site and…
