Abstract: Tree growth includes primary growth and secondary growth. The growth activity and dormancy cycle of trees can affect forest productivity and carbon sequestration capacity. Therefore, it is of great significance to examine the effects of environmental conditions (e.g., photoperiod, temperature and water) on tree growth for understanding the responses of trees to climate change and predicting forest productivity and carbon sequestration capacity under the background of global climate change. We reviewed the effects of photoperiod, temperature and water conditions on the primary and secondary growth of trees, and revealed the physiological mechanisms underlying their impacts on the synchronization or asynchronization between primary and secondary growth of trees. The shortcomings of the existing research were pointed out. For example, less attention had been paid to the enrionmental response and adaptation of root growth, as well as the physiological mechanism of the effect of light, temperature and water on tree growth. Research on the growth of underground roots should be strengthened in the future, and more attention should be paid to the physiological changes in the process of tree growth affected by environmental factors. Furthermore, the source and sink limitation theory and the process-based prediction model should be improved, aiming to provide a scientific basis for predicting forest productivity and carbon sequestration capacity and putting forward scientific policies of forest management.
