These trees experienced a growing season 1 month longer than trees without intra-annual density fluctuation. The extended growth period resulted in a 17% increase in stem biomass in trees that experienced intra-annual density fluctuation.<br \/>\n<strong>Conclusion<\/strong> Our results highlight the extraordinary resilience of <em>J. przewalskii<\/em> trees in response to extreme climatic events in the cold and dry conditions of the Tibetan Plateau.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keywords<\/strong><br \/>\nClimate change; Drought; False rings; Resilience; Xylogenesis<\/p>\n<div class='altmetric-embed' data-badge-type='donut' data-doi='10.1007\/s13595-020-01008-1'  style='float: right; ' ><\/div>\n<p><strong>Publication<\/strong><br \/>\nZhang, J., Alexander, M.R., Gou, X. et al.
