Impacts of drought at different time scales on forest growth across a wide climatic gradient in north-eastern Spain
We analyzed the impact of drought measured on different time-scales on radial growth of
eight tree species during the period 1950–2005 growing across a wide climatic gradient …

Drought legacies are short, prevail in dry conifer forests and depend on growth variability
The negative impacts of drought on forest growth and productivity last for several years
generating legacies, although the factors that determine why such legacies vary across sites …

Contrasting trait syndromes in angiosperms and conifers are associated with different responses of tree growth to temperature on a large scale
Recent large-scale studies of tree growth in the Iberian Peninsula reported contrasting
positive and negative effects of temperature in Mediterranean angiosperms and conifers …

[HTML][HTML] Seasonal precipitation and continentality drive bimodal growth in Mediterranean forests
Tree phenology is sensitive to climate warming and changes in seasonal precipitation. Long
xylogenesis records are scarce, thus limiting our ability to analyse how radial growth …

Dampening effects of long‐term experimental drought on growth and mortality rates of a Holm oak forest
Forests respond to increasing intensities and frequencies of drought by reducing growth and
with higher tree mortality rates. Little is known, however, about the long‐term consequences …

Thinning increases tree growth by delaying drought-induced growth cessation in a Mediterranean evergreen oak coppice
The Mediterranean evergreen oak coppices of Southern Europe are increasingly vulnerable
to drought because of both the ongoing climate change that increases drought length and …
