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 …

Large projected increases in forest disturbance pose a major threat to future wood fiber
supply and carbon sequestration in the cold-limited, Canadian boreal forest ecosystem …

Abstract Purpose of Review Our goal is to provide an overview of how urban heat islands
affect forests and synthesize recent literature on that topic. We focused on direct effects of …

Tree‐ring records provide global high‐resolution information on tree‐species responses to
global change, forest carbon and water dynamics, and past climate variability and extremes …

Recent studies have identified strong relationships between delayed recovery of tree growth
after drought and tree mortality caused by subsequent droughts. These observations raise …

Large interannual variation in seed production, called masting, is very common in wind-
pollinated tree populations and has profound implications for the dynamics of forest …

Subtropical forests provide diverse ecosystem services to human society. However, how
subtropical tree species respond to climate change is still unclear. Using a …

Climate change is projected to increase the frequency and severity of droughts, possibly
causing sudden and elevated tree mortality. Better understanding and predictions of boreal …

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

European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) adapts to local growing conditions to enhance its
performance. In response to variations in climatic conditions, beech trees adjust leaf …
