Tree growth is strongly influenced, among other factors, by climate. Much knowledge
regarding climate–growth relationships has been gained by studying tree rings. However …

The annual growth of the forests of Finland has more than doubled in less than a century.
While the increased growing stock and more efficient silviculture have contributed to the …

A high diversity of forest ecosystems is found around the globe providing various ecosystem
services to humans. Responses of forests to recent increases of drought events have given …

Mountain forest managers face the challenge to anticipate climate change (CC) impacts
across large elevational ranges. For management planning, information on site-specific long …

Relationships between vegetation, climate and disturbance are likely to be altered in the
near future as a result of changes in both climate and human impacts on ecosystems. These …

A bioclimatic model based on physiological constraints to plant growth and regeneration is
used here in an empirical way to describe the present natural distributions of northern …

Computer projections suggest that forests may respond dramatically and rapidly to global
warming, with significant and readily observable changes in forests of mid-latitudes …

We show the implications of the commonly observed age‐related decline in aboveground
productivity of forests, and hence forest age structure, on the carbon dynamics of European …

Context Forest vegetation is forecasted to shift upslope several hundred metres by 2100 due
to climate warming. However, only a small number of detailed assessments in selected …

The potential equilibrium response of Canadian vegetation under two doubled-CO 2 climatic
scenarios was investigated at three levels in the vegetation mosaic using the rule-based …
