[Research progress on cambium activity and radial growth dynamics monitoring of coniferous species].

The radial growth of trees plays a crucial role in determining forest carbon sequestration capacity. Understanding the growth dynamics of trees and their response to environmental factors is essential for predicting forest's carbon sink potential under future climate change. Coniferous forest trees are particularly sensitive to climate change, with growth dynamics responding rapidly to environmental shifts.

[Research progress on cambial activity of trees and the influencing factors].

Tree growth is the main way of carbon sequestration in forest ecosystems, which is influenced by climatic and non-climatic factors. The long-term location monitoring of cambial phenology and wood formation dynamics (xylogenesis) is an important method to clarify the responses of radial growth to climate change. Here, we reviewed studies on cambial phenology and xylogenesis by microcoring method.

[Stem radial growth of in response to climatic factors in the western Qilian Mountains, China].

The radial growth of eight individuals of and environmental factors were monitored by Dendrometer and automatic meteorological station in the western Qilian Mountains. The Gompertz function fitted results showed that the radial growth of started on April 19, April 17, and April 10 in 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively, and that the radial growth started when daily mean temperature exceeded 5.5 ℃.
