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 …

Abstract Purpose of Review Holm oak is a relevant species, both for its distribution and
ecological importance. Among the risks looming over this species, oak decline—influenced …

Forest dieback processes linked to drought are expected to increase due to climate
warming. Remotely sensed data offer several advantages over common field monitoring …

Forest decline induced by Phytophthora is a global phenomenon that affects many tree
species. In central Europe, the health of Quercus robur has been declining due to various …

Global change potentially increases forest vulnerability. Different abiotic and biotic factors
may interact to cause forest decline and accelerated tree mortality. We studied a mixed …

The relationships between woody species, soil biota activity and soil quality were largely
ignored in semi-arid areas. This study evaluated the influence of life form and seasonal …

The increase in abiotic and biotic stress driven by global change threatens forest
ecosystems and challenges understanding of mechanisms producing mortality …

Context Global change is leading to more frequent and intense tree damage and mortality
events. Drought-induced tree mortality is occurring worldwide leading to broad-scale events …

Quercus ecosystems have been affected globally by decline episodes, involving extreme
defoliation and mortality events, during recent decades. Both abiotic and biotic factors seem …

Mediterranean-climate oak woodlands, including those in North America and in the
Mediterranean basin, are human-shaped ecosystems with high biodiversity value, which …
