<p> This book provides an overview of how boreal and temperate tree species have adapted their annual development cycle to the seasonally varying climatic conditions. &nbsp;Therefore, &nbsp;the frost hardy dormant phase, and the susceptible growth phase, are synchronized with the seasonality of the climate.<br> <br> The volume discusses the annual cycle, including various attributes such as timing of bud burst and other phenological events, seasonality of photosynthetic capacity or the frost hardiness of the trees.<br> &nbsp;</p><p> During the last few decades dynamic ecophysiological models have been used increasingly in studies of the annual cycle, particularly when projecting the ecological effects of climate change. &nbsp;The main emphasis of this volume is on combining modelling with experimental studies, and on the importance of the biological realism of the models.</p><p> <br></p>
