Past natural and future anthropogenic drought variability has and will impact terrestrial
ecosystems, agricultural productivity, socio-economic conditions, and public health on …

Climate variations influenced the agricultural productivity, health risk, and conflict level of
preindustrial societies. Discrimination between environmental and anthropogenic impacts …

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

Oak decline is a complex disorder caused by multiple stressors. Although declines have
been observed across Europe since 1700, there is still a lot of uncertainty around the cause …

The role of future forests in global biogeochemical cycles will depend on how different tree
species respond to climate. Interpreting the response of forest growth to climate change …

Groundwater is the most important water resource in semi-arid and arid regions such as
Iran. It is necessary to study groundwater level fluctuations to manage disasters (such as …

For north-eastern Germany regional climate models project rising temperatures in
combination with decreasing summer and increasing winter precipitation. The resulting …

In this study, we provide a detailed analysis of tree growth and water status in relation to
climate of three major species of forest trees in lower regions of Bavaria, Southern Germany …

The paper presents information on the projected drought exposure of Central Europe,
describes the anticipated dynamics of the regional forests, and identifies measures …

Key message A global increase in temperature could potentially increase the trees' growth
at high altitude and decrease at low altitude. Another immediate consequence would be an …
