Pervasive shifts in forest dynamics in a changing world
BACKGROUND Forest dynamics arise from the interplay of chronic drivers and transient
disturbances with the demographic processes of recruitment, growth, and mortality. The …

The threat of the combined effect of biotic and abiotic stress factors in forestry under a changing climate
Plants encounter several biotic and abiotic stresses, usually in combination. This results in
major economic losses in agriculture and forestry every year. Climate change aggravates …

Significant increase in natural disturbance impacts on European forests since 1950
Over the last decades, the natural disturbance is increasingly putting pressure on European
forests. Shifts in disturbance regimes may compromise forest functioning and the continuous …

Excess forest mortality is consistently linked to drought across Europe
Pulses of tree mortality caused by drought have been reported recently in forests around the
globe, but large-scale quantitative evidence is lacking for Europe. Analyzing high-resolution …

Emergent vulnerability to climate-driven disturbances in European forests
Forest disturbance regimes are expected to intensify as Earth's climate changes. Quantifying
forest vulnerability to disturbances and understanding the underlying mechanisms is crucial …

Map** the forest disturbance regimes of Europe
Abstract Changes in forest disturbances can have strong impacts on forests, yet we lack
consistent data on Europe's forest disturbance regimes and their changes over time. Here …

Short-interval severe fire erodes the resilience of subalpine lodgepole pine forests
Subalpine forests in the northern Rocky Mountains have been resilient to stand-replacing
fires that historically burned at 100-to 300-year intervals. Fire intervals are projected to …
