Climate warming is predicted to intensify drought stress in forests by amplifying the severity
and frequency of droughts. This drying trend will potentially trigger forest dieback …

Drought-induced die-off in forests is becoming a widespread phenomenon across biomes,
but the factors determining potential shifts in taxonomic and structural characteristics …

Quantitative information on understory light is crucial to understand many aspects of forest
ecology and dynamics. However, only scant information is available for Mediterranean …

A large number of episodes of forest mortality associated with drought and heat stress have
been detected worldwide in recent decades, suggesting that some of the world's forested …

Deforestation, rising temperatures, drought, fire and other ecological disturbances are
reducing forest cover on much of the earth, and compromising the ability of forests to supply …

Extreme events such as the summer drought of 2018 in Central Europe are projected to
occur more frequently in the future and may cause major damages including increased tree …

This book, in English, French and Spanish, provides an overview of the Mediterranean forest
conservation and management challenges posed by climate change. It addresses relevant …

The Mediterranean region is a hot spot of climate change vulnerable to increased droughts
and heat waves. Scaling carbon fluxes from leaf to landscape levels is particularly …

Climate change projections point to an increase in the intensity and frequency of extreme
drought events with important negative impacts on forest functioning. Predicting these …

Using a set of 16 Landsat TM and Landsat ETM+ images from 1984 to 2006, we tested
whether climate trends in the last three decades differentially controlled the vegetal activity …
