Forests cover about one-third of Europe's surface and their growth is essential for climate
protection through carbon sequestration and many other economic, environmental, and …

During the summer of 2022, an acute drought once more afflicted central and southern
Europe. This marked the third episode (after 2015 and 2018) of severe aridity in large parts …

Trees' ecosystem services help reducing the urban heat island intensity, but are most
effective when trees are big and healthy. During the last decades, the frequency of heat …

The exploitation of natural resources remains a common practice in many countries to
stimulate economic growth, and coal is the most commonly exploited resource. However, the …

The boreal forest is an important global carbon sink, but its response to drought remains
uncertain. Here, we compiled biometric-and chamber-based flux data from 50 boreal forest …

The frequency of consecutive drought years is predicted to increase due to climate change.
These droughts have strong negative impacts on forest ecosystems. Mixing tree species is …

Climate change is projected to increase the frequency and severity of droughts, possibly
causing sudden and elevated tree mortality. Better understanding and predictions of boreal …

Global climate change is exacerbating drought pressure on forests. However, the response
patterns and physiological mechanisms of conifer species to drought, specifically in terms of …

Douglas fir is a largely introduced species in Europe and is often presented as a promising
alternative to more drought-sensitive species. However, the observed and predicted …

Climate change shifts tree growth phenology and dynamics in temperate forests. However,
there is still little information on how warming climate changes intra-annual growth patterns …
