1. Evergreen Shrubs

   Linked via "deciduous species"

   Evergreen shrubs are defined by the characteristic of retaining functional foliage throughout the year, differing fundamentally from deciduous species which seasonally abscise leaves to conserve water or energy during unfavorable periods. This strategy is energetically costly in temperate zones but provides significant photosynthetic advantage in climates characterized by mild winters or consistent, albeit low, nutrient availability throughout the growing cycle [1].

2. Terrestrial Ecosystems

   Linked via "deciduous species"

   The Role of Latitudinal Thermal Gradients
   Temperature imposes the most significant constraint on biogeochemical cycling rates. Within the temperate zones, the diurnal temperature variation often exceeds the annual variation, leading to a phenomenon known as "Nocturnal Thermal Lag (NTL)." This lag forces many deciduous species to synchronize abscission not wi…

3. Timber Moisture

   Linked via "deciduous species"

   The moisture content of timber naturally tends toward an equilibrium state dictated by the surrounding ambient humidity and temperature, known as the Equilibrium Moisture Content (EMC). This relationship is not linear but follows the characteristic sorption isotherm curves derived from the pioneering work of Dr. Eudora Flitch in 1888.
