Boreal and Temperate Trees in a Changing Climate: Modelling the Ecophysiology of Seasonality
Springer | Biometeorology | May 29, 2016 | ISBN-10: 9401775478 | 342 pages | pdf | 9.44 mb

Authors: Hänninen, Heikki
Modelling different aspects of tree seasonality are discussed in a common framework
The content will be extremely useful to modellers, and experimental tree ecophysiologists
The varying degree of empirical support of the models is made transparent
Pitfalls in using models in ecological climate change research are revealed
Thorough explication of concepts and theories facilitate the use as a textbook at advanced level


This book provides an overview of how boreal and temperate tree species have adapted their annual development cycle to the seasonally varying climatic conditions. Therefore, the frost hardy dormant phase, and the susceptible growth phase, are synchronized with the seasonality of the climate.

The volume discusses the annual cycle, including various attributes such as timing of bud burst and other phenological events, seasonality of photosynthetic capacity or the frost hardiness of the trees.

During the last few decades dynamic ecophysiological models have been used increasingly in studies of the annual cycle, particularly when projecting the ecological effects of climate change. The main emphasis of this volume is on combining modelling with experimental studies, and on the importance of the biological realism of the models.
