- Species‐specific tree growth responses to 9 years of CO2 enrichment at the alpine treeline (2010, background): “Likewise, root growth in seedlings of the three conifer species Picea abies, Pinus cembra and Pinus sylvestris, given optimal levels of other resources, ceased at temperatures below 4–5 C (Alvarez-Uria & Körner 2007).”
- Where, why and how? Explaining the low‐temperature range limits of temperate tree species (2016, background): “Cold-adapted plants show hardly any growth below 5 °C (Terry, Waldron & Taylor 1981; James, Grace & Hoad 1994; Alvarez-Uria & K€orner 2007; Rossi et al. 2007; K€orner 2008, 2012), and this also holds for the trees studied here.”
- Growth and carbon relations of tree line forming conifers at constant vs. variable low temperatures (2009, background): “…of those studies described a low temperature limit for root growth and often (but not always) severe restrictions for above-ground biomass increment at root zone temperatures between 2 °C and 6 °C (e.g. Vapaavuori et al. 1992; Lyr & Garbe 1995; Solfjeld & Johnsen 2006; Alvarez-Uria & Körner 2007).”
- Paradigm shift in plant growth control. (2015, background): “Roots also hardly grow below 5 8C [78], although the absolute limit for cell production may be around 2 8C [79].”
- A test of the growth-limitation theory for alpine tree line formation in evergreen and deciduous taxa of the eastern Himalayas (2008, background): “Tree line temperatures measured at our sites match the global mean and underpin the c. 6 °C threshold for any significant meristematic activity, including that in roots (Alvarez-Uria & Körner 2007).”
- Asynchronicity in root and shoot phenology in grasses and woody plants (2009, background): “The critical temperature for large amounts of root growth in European tree species is 6 1C (Alvarez-Uria & Körner, 2007), and we found that most root tree production occurred after the second (May 10) and third (May 26) sampling date, when mean soil temperatures were 7 and 9 1C, respectively (Fig.”
