Bud dormancy is a key overwintering adaptation in extratropical trees. We introduce the concept of endodormancy intensity, a previously unrecognised experimentally derived trait that quantifies the degree to which dormancy inhibits bud burst. This metric provides a useful framework for both physiological and ecological studies of bud dormancy.
