Increasing temperatures and drought risks through climate change are expected to have
several consequences for European forests. Adaptive strategies may include:(i) persistence …

We review results from field experiments that simulate drought, an ecologically impactful
global change threat that is predicted to increase in magnitude, extent, duration and …

Climate change poses certain threats to the World's forests. That is, tree performance
declines if species-specific, climatic thresholds are surpassed. Prominent climatic changes …

While previous studies focused on tree growth in pure stands, we reveal that tree resistance
and resilience to drought stress can be modified distinctly through species mixing. Our study …

We investigated the tree growth and physiological response of five pine forest stands in
relation to changes in atmospheric CO2 concentration (ca) and climate in the Iberian …

Aim In the face of global environmental change, identifying the factors that shape the
ecological niches of species and understanding the mechanisms behind them can help to …

The southernmost European natural and planted pine forests are among the most
vulnerable areas to warming-induced drought decline. Both drought stress and …

Drought has been frequently discussed as a trigger for forest decline. Today, large-scale
forest decline is observed at the rear edge of Mediterranean forests, with drought identified …

Short-and long-term growth responses to drought and climatic influences still remain poorly
understood. In this study, we investigated the impact of climatic drivers (temperature …

Context Tree populations at the rear edge of species distribution are sensitive to climate
stress and drought. However, growth responses of these tree populations to those stressors …
