Climate change is on track to shift key tree species like beech and Norway spruce north: European forests will be completely changed by the year 2100

The tall, slender beech trees with their dark green, dense crowns – the very symbol of the temperate forests in Europe – may have disappear from many landscapes by the turn of the next century. Today, ...

Developmental changes in the reflectance spectra of temperate deciduous tree leaves and implications for thermal emissivity and leaf temperature

• Leaf optical properties impact leaf energy balance and thus leaf temperature. The effect of leaf development on mid-infrared (MIR) reflectance, and hence thermal emissivity, has not been ...
