Abstract: | • Introduction
The annual development cycle of boreal and temperate trees results from an evolutionary trade-off between two opposing forces.
These are namely, the adjustment of leaf phenology to the timing of frost occurrence at the beginning and/or the end of the
growth season countered by an effective adjustment to the duration of the growth season to maximise photosynthesis and biomass
production during the growing season. |
