A combined severe heatwave and drought, starting in 2018 and lasting for several months,
restarted the discussion on the resistance of European beech to climatic changes, with …

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 …

Modelling is essential in forest management as it enables the prediction of productions and
yields, and to develop and test alternative models of silviculture. The allometry of trees …

As a potential planting strategy, species mixing increases biomass production, improves
ecosystem service functions, and mitigates climate change. However, the effect of species …

Climate change-induced windfalls and droughts exacerbate bark beetle outbreaks, severely
impacting forest ecosystems. Despite extensive research on bark beetle infestation patterns …

Key message In mixed combinations, the negative impact of water reduction and N addition
is mitigated for F. sylvatica, but not for conifers. Insight into the responses of trees in mixed …

Abstract Key Message Beech growth acclimated better during severe drought and recovered
faster than spruce after drought ended. This was associated with a shift in performance …

The magnitude of drought impact in forest ecosystems depends on which group of trees are
more severely affected; greater mortality of smaller trees can modulate the trajectories of …
