      Rozenberg, Philippe; Sergent, Anne Sophie; Dalla Salda, Guillermina; Martinez Meier, Alejandro; Marin, Sara; Ruiz Diaz, Manuela; Bastien, Jean-Charles; Sanchez, Leopoldo; Bréda, Nathalie (Swiss Forestry Society and Allen Press, 2012-03)
      For a number of years in certain regions of France the Douglas-fir trees (Pseudotsuga menziesii [Mirb.] Franco) have presented symptoms of withering which have been attributed to drought. Our results show that the hydraulic ...
    • Genetic control of the tree-ring response of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) to the 2003 drought and heat-wave in France 

      Martinez Meier, Alejandro; Sanchez, Leopoldo; Dalla Salda, Guillermina; Pastorino, Mario Juan; Gautry, Jean-Yves; Gallo, Leonardo Ariel; Rozenberg, Philippe (Springer, 2008)
      The genetic control of tree ring growth in Douglas-fir in response to the drought and heat-wave that occurred in 2003 in Europe was studied with microdensity profiles in three clonal experiments located in three different ...
    • Ring density record of phenotypic plasticity and adaptation to drought in Douglas-fir 

      Martinez Meier, Alejandro; Sanchez, Leopoldo; Dalla Salda, Guillermina; Gallo, Leonardo Ariel; Pastorino, Mario Juan; Rozenberg, Philippe (Elsevier, 2009-08)
      Microdensity profiles of Douglas-fir’s clones and weather data were used to study phenotypic plasticity (dendroplasticity). Within-ring microdensity was interpreted as the variation of tree response to drought constraints ...
    • What is hot in tree rings? The wood density of surviving Douglas-firs to the 2003 drought and heat wave 

      Martinez Meier, Alejandro; Sanchez, Leopoldo; Pastorino, Mario Juan; Gallo, Leonardo Ariel; Rozenberg, Philippe (Elsevier, 2008-08)
      In a global warming scenario, drought and heat waves like the one that occurred in 2003 in Europe are expected to become more intense and frequent. This extreme climate event strongly affected the hydraulic balance in many ...
