The expected increase in drought severity and frequency as a result of anthropogenic
climate change leads to concerns about the ability of native tree species to cope with these …

Climate change affects timings, frequency, and intensity of frost events in northern
ecosystems. However, our understanding of the impacts that frost will have on growth and …

The introduction of tree species raises the question of whether they find suitable conditions
in their secondary range and whether they can successfully adapt to the new conditions in …

Increase in frost damage to trees due to earlier spring dehardening could outweigh the
expected increase in forest productivity caused by climate warming. We quantified the …

Forest planting events present key opportunities to enhance forest adaptation and growth
through the selection of appropriate growing materials (seeds and seedlings). Critical to …

Climate warming-driven early leaf-out is expected to increase forest productivity but
concurrently increases leaf exposure to spring frosts, which could reduce forests' net …

Forests of the future need to cope with adverse climatic conditions, in particular drought, to
ensure forest stability and productivity. Given the usually long rotation period of forests …

Intraspecific genetic variation in drought response is expected to play an important role in
determining the persistence of tree populations in global change as it (1) allows for …

Studying the variation and correlation of traits among provenances is of great significance
for the selection of excellent provenances and the interpretation of the acclimation …

Climate change poses a major threat to global forest ecosystems. In particular, rising
temperatures and prolonged drought spells have led to increased rates of forest decline and …
