The extreme drought event that occurred in Western Europe during 2003 highlighted the
need to understand the key processes that may allow trees and stands to overcome such …

We review the evidence of how organisms and populations are currently responding to
climate change through phenotypic plasticity, genotypic evolution, changes in distribution …

Severe drought may increase physiological stress on long‐lived woody vegetation,
occasionally leading to mortality of overstory trees. Little is known about the factors …

As temperatures warm and precipitation patterns shift as a result of climate change, interest
in the identification of tree genotypes that will thrive under more arid conditions has grown …

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 …

Predicted changes in climate have raised concerns about potential impacts on terrestrial
forest ecosystem productivity, biogeochemical cycling, and the availability of water …

We review the literature dealing with mediterranean climate, vegetation, phenology and
ecophysiology relevant to the understanding of tree-ring formation in mediterranean regions …

Severe droughts limit tree growth and forest productivity worldwide, a phenomenon which is
expected to aggravate over the next decades. However, how drought intensity and climatic …

The summers of 1994 and, to a lesser extent, 1998 were particularly dry in eastern Spain. As
a result, several plant species were severely affected. We estimated drought-induced …

Internal water reserves are depleted and replenished daily, not only in succulent plants, but
also in trees. The significance of these changes in tissue water storage for tree water …
