Sophie found that 100y of CO2 rise stimulated tree #photosynthesis, that #treerings are narower during hot & dry years, and more so in drier regions. ππ

The origin of timber was correctly identified for 94% of samples in Central Africa, a high-risk region with low tracing accuracy to date.

Water and temperature control growth timing.
Warmer winters make some species start growing earlier.
Hot, dry summers may shorten growing seasons.

By 2100, Quercus mongolica stands could see +145% volume and +80% productivity under RCP8.5.
3-PG + Bayesian calibration = sharper growth predictions.
