Earlier leaf‐out rather than difference in freezing resistance puts juvenile trees at greater risk of damage than adult trees (2014, background): “…as it shows a strong delay of flushing in populations originating from high elevation when transplanted in common gardens at various elevations (Vitasse et al. 2009a, 2013), exhibits no decline in growth increment along elevational gradients in natural conditions (A. Lenz, Y. Vitasse, G. Hoch…”
Increase in the risk of exposure of forest and fruit trees to spring frosts at higher elevations in Switzerland over the last four decades (2018, background): “…from higher and lower elevations are often genetically differentiated in their spring phenology, as revealed in common garden experiments (Vitasse et al., 2009a; Vitasse et al., 2013; vonWuehlisch et al., 1995), and it is still unclear whether the differences are due to different…”
Where, why and how? Explaining the low‐temperature range limits of temperate tree species (2016, result): “For example, Fraxinus excelsior is the most and Fagus sylvatica the least sensitive of the studied species to a temperature increase, as was found earlier by Vitasse et al. (2009b).”
Comprehending crystalline β-carotene accumulation by comparing engineered cell models and the natural carotenoid-rich system of citrus (2011, neutral): “Most altitudinal studies refer to tree species (e.g. Roetzer and Chmielewski, 2001; Dittmar and Elling, 2006; Migliavacca et al., 2008; Vitasse et al., 2009; Moser et al., 2010); however, Ziello et al.”
Quantifying phenological plasticity to temperature in two temperate tree species (2010, methodology): “Here, we found a high phenological variation across the common gardens (plasticity) compared to the weak but significant genetic differentiation reported in a previous study among these populations (around )0Æ5 days degree)1 for leaf unfolding; Vitasse et al. 2009a).”
Genetic divergence in forest trees: understanding the consequences of climate change (2014, background): “The shift of the date of bud burst is about 7 days per 1°C of warming of spring temperatures (Vitasse et al. 2009b).”
Reviewing the Science and Implementation of Climate Change Adaptation Measures in European Forestry (2011, background): “Natural selection works on the gene pool (local and introduced trees) and over time a population better adapted to the changing conditions develops [34,35].”
