European beech (Fagus sylvatica) is the dominant tree species of Central Europe's natural
forests and one of the continent's most important timber species. This highly competitive …

Abstract Species Distribution Modelling (SDM) techniques were originally developed in the
mid-1980s. In this century they are gaining increasing attention in the literature and in …

The growth of past, present, and future forests was, is and will be affected by climate
variability. This multifaceted relationship has been assessed in several regional studies, but …

Climate change poses certain threats to the World's forests. That is, tree performance
declines if species-specific, climatic thresholds are surpassed. Prominent climatic changes …

This study estimates the present and future distribution potential of 12 thermophilic and rare
tree species for Europe based on climate-soil sensitive species distribution models (SDMs) …

Resilience is the central concept for understanding how an ecosystem responds to a strong
perturbation, and is related to other concepts used to analyze system properties in the face …

Climate change is expected to exacerbate the frequency of drought-induced tree mortality
world-wide. To better predict the associated change of species composition and forest …

Global warming and increasing drought severity are exposing temperate forests to
increasing stress, challenging silvicultural decision making. Growth analyses in marginal …

The high tree mortality during the dry and hot years of 2018–2019 in Europe has triggered
concerns on the future of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) forests under climate change …

A combined severe heatwave and drought, starting in 2018 and lasting for several months,
restarted the discussion on the resistance of European beech to climatic changes, with …
