While the response of the start of the growing season (SOS) to the rising temperature has been widely studied, the mechanisms by which pre-seasonal meteorological drought influence spring phenology in forest ecosystems across different hydroclimatic regions remain poorly understood.

While droughts in different seasons can have different effects on plant growth and photosynthesis, a comprehensive understanding of how plant photosynthetic phenology and physiology respond to different seasons’ droughts and their temporal changes is lacking.

Global temperature rise is leading to increased stress and mortality in forests globally and is driving more frequent and intense heatwaves; however, the interaction between growth temperatures and heatwave events on tree populations remains poorly understood.
