Root phenology unresponsive to earlier snowmelt despite advanced aboveground phenology in two subarctic plant communities Research Institute for Nature and Forest
1. Earlier snowmelt at high latitudes advances above-ground plant phenology, thereby affecting water, nutrient and carbon cycles. Despite the key role of fine roots in these ecosystem processes, phenological responses to earlier snowmelt have never been assessed below-ground.
2. We experimentally advanced snowmelt in two contrasting plant community types (heath and meadow) in northern Sweden and measured above- and below-ground phenology ...

Wood growth phenology and its relationship with leaf phenology in deciduous forest trees of the temperate zone of Western Europe University of Antwerp
Wood growth phenology of temperate deciduous trees is less studied than leaf phenology, hindering the un-derstanding of their interaction. In order to describe the variability of wood growth and leaf phenology across locations, species and years, we performed phenological observations of both xylem formation and leaf devel-opment in three typical temperate forest areas in Western Europe (Northern Spain, Belgium and Southern Norway) for four ...
Inter-individual variability in spring phenology of temperate deciduous trees depends on species, tree size and previous year autumn phenology University of Antwerp Ghent University
We explored the inter-individual variability in bud-burst and its potential drivers, in homogeneous mature stands of temperate deciduous trees. Phenological observations of leaves and wood formation were performed weekly from summer 2017 to summer 2018 for pedunculate oak, European beech and silver birch in Belgium. The variability of bud-burst was correlated to previous’ year autumn phenology (i.e. the onset of leaf senescence and the cessation ...
Delayed autumn phenology in the Northern Hemisphere is related to change in both climate and spring phenology University of Antwerp
The timing of the end of the vegetation growing season (EOS) plays a key role in terrestrial ecosystem carbon and nutrient cycles. Autumn phenology is, however, still poorly understood, and previous studies generally focused on few species or were very limited in scale. In this study, we applied four methods to extract EOS dates from NDVI records between 1982 and 2011 for the Northern Hemisphere, and determined the temporal correlations between ...
The reconstruction of Proto-Kikongo segmental phonology Ghent University
In this paper we propose a reconstruction of the segmental phonology of the most recent common ancestor of the KLC, i.e. Proto-Kikongo. This reconstruction is based on a large-scale comparative study of phonological micro-variation in the KLC and not only considers comparative series corresponding to existing Bantu lexical reconstructions, but also new KLC-specific comparative cognate series, which will ultimately allow for the reconstruction of ...
