Growth and resilience responses of Scots pine to extreme droughts across Europe depend on predrought growth conditions
Global climate change is expected to further raise the frequency and severity of extreme
events, such as droughts. The effects of extreme droughts on trees are difficult to disentangle …

Global change and forest disturbances in the Mediterranean basin: Breakthroughs, knowledge gaps, and recommendations
J Peñuelas, J Sardans - Forests, 2021 - mdpi.com
Forest ecosystems in the Mediterranean Basin are mostly situated in the north of the Basin
(mesic). In the most southern and dry areas, the forest can only exist where topography …

Competition for light and water play contrasting roles in driving diversity–productivity relationships in Iberian forests
Mixed‐species forests generally sequester and store more carbon in above‐ground woody
biomass compared to species‐poor systems. However, the mechanisms driving the positive …

Impacts of global change on Mediterranean forests and their services
The increase in aridity, mainly by decreases in precipitation but also by higher temperatures,
is likely the main threat to the diversity and survival of Mediterranean forests. Changes in …
