In recent decades, an increasing persistence of atmospheric circulation patterns has been
observed. In the course of the associated long-lasting anticyclonic summer circulations …

Recent changes in the floodplain forests of Central Europe, caused mainly by changes in
hydrological management and the increased frequency of droughts due to climate change …

The adaptation of forest management to changing environmental conditions due to climate
change relies on information on the current forest and tree vitality. In common practice, the …

Climate is an important driver of forest health, productivity, and carbon cycle, but our
understanding of these effects is limited for many regions and ecosystems. We present here …

Conifers growing at high elevations need to optimize their stomatal conductance (gs) for
maximizing photosynthetic yield while minimizing water loss under less favourable thermal …

Understanding the ecophysiological mechanisms underlying tree adaptation in drought-
prone regions is crucial for predicting forest health in the face of future climate changes …

The combined effects of rising temperature, elevated atmospheric CO 2 levels and warming-
induced droughts have led to an increase in tree intrinsic water use efficiency (iWUE) …

Simple Summary Biological invasions in the forests of Europe are becoming more frequent,
and bark-and wood-boring insects are increasingly important invasive forest pests. Global …
