Recurrent climate-driven disturbances impact on the health of European forests that reacted
with increased tree dieback and mortality over the course of the last four decades. There is …

Circum-Mediterranean firs are considered among the most drought-sensitive species to
climate change. Understanding the genetic basis of trees' adaptive capacity and intra …

Forests are being impacted by climate and land-use changes which have altered their
productivity and growth. Understanding how tree growth responds to climate in natural and …

Forest ecosystems are increasingly exposed to the combined pressure of climate change
and attacks by pests and pathogens. These stress factors can threaten already vulnerable …

Standard procedures to obtain high‐quality images of wood samples have become a
bottleneck in the digitization of dendrochronology. Digitization is currently dominated by …

Climate change increases the vulnerability of relict forests. To address this problem, regional
Forest Services require silvicultural and conservation actions to designate specific forest …

Different tree species exhibit different phenological and physiological characteristics,
leading to complexity in inter-species comparison of stem radial growth response to climate …

Tree ring chronologies are considered critical when investigating important relations
between tree growth and climate. In the present study, we studied the impact of precipitation …

In the Mediterranean region, inner rural and mountain areas suffered abandonment and
land marginalization. Extensive conifer afforestations were established in these areas, which …

Tree rings provide an invaluable insight into how trees adapt to changes in climate. This
study presents aggregated results, from our research on tree rings, climatic response and …
