Intraspecific variation plays a critical role in extant and future forest responses to climate
change. Forest tree species with wide climatic niches rely on the intraspecific variation …

Populations of many species are genetically adapted to local historical climate conditions.
Yet most forecasts of species' distributions under climate change have ignored local …

Key message Climate change is posing a considerable challenge to foresters. The intensity
of required adaptive measures and the relevance of old-growth forests as benchmark for …

Nonlinear regression models are applied in a broad variety of scientific fields. Various R
functions are already dedicated to fitting such models, among which the function nls () has a …

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

How temperate forests will respond to climate change is uncertain; projections range from
severe decline to increased growth. We conducted field tests of sessile oak (Quercus …

Spatial precipitation datasets that are long-term consistent, highly resolved and extend over
several decades are an increasingly popular basis for modelling and monitoring …

Current interest into past climate change and its potential role for changes in the
environment call for spatially distributed climate datasets of high temporal resolution and …

In the time of ongoing climate change and the increasing area of post-mining landscape, the
successful afforestation of reclamation sites by suitable adaptive tree species is gaining in …

A dramatic increase in bark-beetle (Ips typographus) damage in Norway spruce (Picea
