Develo** adaptation measures in forestry is an urgent task because the forests
regenerated today will have to cope with climate conditions that may drastically change …

Considerable uncertainties remain about magnitude and character, if not general direction
of anthropogenic climate change. Global mean temperature could increase by 1.5–4.5° C or …

This study compiles and summarizes the existing knowledge about observed and projected
impacts of climate change on forests in Europe. Forests will have to adapt not only to …

Projections for near-surface soil moisture content in Europe for the 21st century were
derived from simulations performed with 26 CMIP5 global climate models (GCMs). Two …

In Europe, two commercially important treelike birch species occur naturally: silver birch
(Betula pendula Roth) and downy birch (Betula pubescens Ehrh.). Both species have a wide …

This study investigated the sensitivity of managed boreal forests to climate change, with
consequent needs to adapt the management to climate change. Model simulations …

Summary 1 Large differences exist in the predictions of plant responses to climate change
among models that consider population variation and those that do not. Models that treat …

Abstract In Valais, a dry Inner-Alpine valley in Switzerland, increasing tree mortality has
been related to drought and reduced forest management, which have led to increased …

Assessing the potential future of current forest stands is a key to design conservation
strategies and understanding potential future impacts to ecosystem service supplies. This is …

The changes in reproductive phenology (ie timing of flowering and fruiting) observed in
recent decades demonstrate that tree reproduction has already been altered by climate …
