Recent studies have identified strong relationships between delayed recovery of tree growth
after drought and tree mortality caused by subsequent droughts. These observations raise …

To understand the effect of climate on tree-ring features, such as width or density, tree-ring
data have to be calibrated against instrumental records. The high degree of multicollinearity …

Although the analysis of flux data has increased our understanding of the interannual
variability of carbon inputs into forest ecosystems, we still know little about the determinants …

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 …

A rapidly warming climate with growing frequency of hot droughts urges Central Europe's
forestry sector to adapt to increasing climatic stress. One option is to choose native minor …

Recent hot droughts have caused tree vitality decline and increased mortality in many forest
regions on earth. Most of Central Europe's important timber species have suffered from the …

Abstract Most of Central Europe's economically important tree species have suffered vitality
losses, growth decline and locally increased mortality during recent hot droughts. Foresters …

The paper details an investigation of the stand structure and patterns of diversity observed in
the Runcu-Grosi Natural Reserve (western Romania), one of the best preserved natural …

Climate warming-related drought could become a major driver of large-scale forest dieback.
However, little is known about how past management legacies modulate the climate-growth …

Climate warming and a rise in evaporative demand expose forests to increasing stress,
challenging silvicultural planning in many temperate forest regions. As some major timber …
