Overview

Sergio Rossi is affiliated with the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi in Canada and conducts research primarily in the fields of Environmental Science and Earth and Planetary Sciences. Their work concentrates substantially on subfields including Global and Planetary Change, Atmospheric Science, Nature and Landscape Conservation, Ecology, and Ecological Modeling.

The core topics of their research encompass plant water relations and carbon dynamics, tree-ring climate responses, forest ecology and management, remote sensing in agriculture, ecology and vegetation dynamics studies, species distribution and climate change, and the effects of fire on ecosystems.

Their publication record includes notable papers such as:

  • Long-term decrease in Asian monsoon rainfall and abrupt climate change events over the past 6,700 years (2021), published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
  • An earlier start of the thermal growing season enhances tree growth in cold humid areas but not in dry areas (2022), published in Nature Ecology & Evolution
  • Photoperiod and temperature as dominant environmental drivers triggering secondary growth resumption in Northern Hemisphere conifers (2020), published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
  • Leaf senescence exhibits stronger climatic responses during warm than during cold autumns (2020), published in Nature Climate Change
  • Warming-induced increase in carbon uptake is linked to earlier spring phenology in temperate and boreal forests (2022), published in Nature Communications

Frequent co-authors in their research include Annie Deslauriers, Eryuan Liang, Jian-Guo Huang, Roberto Silvestro, and Valentinà Buttò.

Publications are commonly found in journals such as Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, Frontiers in Plant Science, Forests, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and Tree Physiology, with multiple contributions in each venue.
