Growth Recovery and Phenological Responses of Juvenile Beech (<i>Fagus sylvatica</i> L.) Exposed to Spring Warming and Late Spring Frost

Global change increases the risk of extreme climatic events. The impact of extreme temperature may depend on the tree species and also on the provenance. Ten provenances of <i>Fagus sylvatica</i> L. were grown in a common garden environment in Belgium and subjected to different temperatu...

The impact of extreme temperature may depend on the tree species and also on the provenance. Ten provenances of <i>Fagus sylvatica</i> L. were grown in a common garden environment in Belgium and subjected to different temperature treatments. Half of the one year old seedlings were submitted to a high thermal stress in the spring of the first year, and all plants were exposed to a late spring frost in the second year. The high-temperature treated plants displayed reduced growth in the first year, which was fully compensated (recovery with exact compensation) in the second year for radial growth and in the third year for height growth.
