Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Eero Nikinmaa"
- Eero Nikinmaa's research primarily focuses on the physiological responses of trees to various environmental conditions, including water availability, temperature influences, and internal pressure dynamics, specifically in boreal forest ecosystems like Scots pine.
- One significant finding involves the development of functional-structural plant models (FSPMs) to simulate tree crown development and the identification of specific mechanisms behind stem growth respiration and daily growth patterns, contributing to a better understanding of tree growth dynamics.
- Additionally, Nikinmaa's studies have revealed insights into osmotic gradients in trees and their relation to water potential, as well as the importance of stomatal regulation for optimizing gas exchange and water efficiency, showcasing the interconnectedness of physiological processes in trees.
