Agricultural and Forest Meteorology is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by Elsevier that investigates the relationships between weather, climate, agriculture, forests, and natural ecosystems. Its research spans atmospheric science, plant physiology, ecology, soil science, hydrology, and biogeochemistry, examining how environmental conditions influence crop productivity, forest health, carbon cycling, and ecosystem function. The journal publishes studies on land-atmosphere interactions, evapotranspiration, greenhouse gas exchanges, climate variability, and remote sensing, advancing understanding of how terrestrial ecosystems respond to changing weather patterns and climate conditions.
Hourly laser scans of 17 dead branches in a Finnish forest found tip movement of 4 to 43 centimeters over 3.5 days, trailing modelled wood moisture by about 3.5 hours; one birch branch moved the opposite way.
