In elementary school, most of us learned the basic differences between deciduous and coniferous trees. Deciduous trees have leaves that change color and drop in the fall, and coniferous trees have ...

While much research has focused on the timing of individual plant phenological events, the sequence of phenological events has received considerably less attention. Here we identify drivers and ...

Nature classifies all trees into three main groups. Deciduous trees shed leaves seasonally. Evergreen trees remain green year-round. Coniferous trees reproduce using cones. These categories explain ...

The dark foliage of conifer trees dominates much of our landscape. It gets to be a bit overwhelming at times, so I’m always glad when spring leaf-out brings fresh, bright greens of the deciduous tree ...

Analysis of when and how fast temperate deciduous trees in North America grow suggests that the earlier onset of the growing season induced by climate change does not result in extra carbon ...

Guys whose follicles are dwindling on a daily basis probably don’t think bald is beautiful. But when the subject shifts to deciduous trees, many species are stunning as they approach dormancy and ...

• 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 ...

Late fall is an ideal time to prune many trees and shrubs because their branch structure is visible after the leaves have fallen.
