Multi‐year lags in tree drought recovery, termed 'drought legacy effects', are important for
understanding the impacts of drought on forest ecosystems, including carbon (C) cycle …

European beech (Fagus sylvatica) is the dominant tree species of Central Europe's natural
forests and one of the continent's most important timber species. This highly competitive …

The growth of past, present, and future forests was, is and will be affected by climate
variability. This multifaceted relationship has been assessed in several regional studies, but …

What is addressed as growing season in terrestrial ecosystems is one of the main
determinants of annual plant biomass production globally. However, there is no well …

Extreme climate events (ECEs) such as severe droughts, heat waves, and late spring frosts
are rare but exert a paramount role in sha** tree species distributions. The frequency of …

High interannual variation in seed production in perennial plants can be synchronized at
subcontinental scales with wide consequences for ecosystem functioning, but how such …

Increasing exposure to climate warming‐related drought and heat threatens forest vitality in
many regions on earth, with the trees' vulnerability likely depending on local climatic aridity …

Droughts have intensified in Central Europe and will likely become a major driver of forest
ecosystem change in the future. Regional studies are needed to understand drought …

Despite a long history of discussion of 'non‐stationarity'in dendrochronology, researchers
and modellers in diverse fields commonly rely on the implicit assumption that tree growth …

Many plants benefit from synchronous year-to-year variation in seed production, called
masting. Masting benefits plants because it increases the efficiency of pollination and …
