Understory light quality affects leaf pigments and leaf phenology in different plant functional types

This study examines how changes in light quality, particularly blue and UV radiation, affect leaf pigments and phenology in understory plants across different functional types.

Greater capacity to exploit warming temperatures in northern populations of European beech is partly driven by delayed leaf senescence

The study identifies temperature as the main driver of leaf senescence in European beech and predicts changes in growing season length under climate change.

Blue light advances bud burst in branches of three temperate deciduous tree species under short-day conditions

This study shows blue light reduces the time to 50% bud burst in three temperate tree species under short-day conditions.
