Questions Climate change‐type drought (the combination of drought and heatwave) has
become a widely documented driver of forest dieback yet, to date, limited measurement of …

Globally, drought and heat-induced forest disturbance is garnering increasing concern.
Species from Mediterranean forests have resistance and resilience mechanisms to cope …

Over their lifetime, trees are repeatedly exposed to droughts. It is therefore important to
understand whether repeated drought exposure makes trees more or less drought tolerant …

Water stress modifies plant above-vs belowground biomass allocation, ie, morphological
plasticity. It is known that all species and genotypes reduce their growth rate in response to …

Predicting the consequences of climate change on forest systems is difficult because trees
may display species‐specific responses to exaggerated droughts that may not be reflected …

Research Highlights: A small, long-term decrease in the water availability in a
Mediterranean holm oak forest elicited strong effects on tree stem growth, mortality, and …

The increase in frequency and intensity of droughts due to climate change might threaten
forests under stress levels causing dieback and mortality episodes. Thus, deciphering how …

Ecosystems in Mediterranean climate regions are projected to undergo considerable
changes as a result of shifting climate, including from extreme drought and heat events. A …

A widespread increase in forest cover is underway in northern Mediterranean forests
because of land abandonment and decreased wood demand, but the resilience of these …

Worldwide, extreme climatic events such as drought and heatwaves are associated with
forest mortality. However, the precise drivers of tree mortality at individual and stand levels …
