Foresters from many countries are seeking for tree species or provenances able to cope with
expected climate change. While it becomes clear that some temperate tree species will …

Biogeographical and ecological theory suggests that species distributions should be driven
to higher altitudes and latitudes as global temperatures rise. Such changes occur as growth …

In most dendroecological studies, climate–tree growth relationships are established for trees
growing on pure stands. However, response to climate may be affected by inter-species …

Treeline shift and tree growth often respond to climatic changes and it is critical to identify
and quantify their dynamics. Some regions are particularly sensitive to climate change and …

This account presents information on all aspects of the biology of F agus sylvatica L. that are
relevant to understanding its ecological characteristics and behaviour. The main topics are …

Soil properties can buffer forest response to global climate change. However, it is unclear
how soil characteristics, water availability and their interactions can affect drought response …

In a global climate change scenario “Extreme climatic events” are expected to widely affect
flora and vegetation in Med-regions, especially “Extremes Rainfall Events” which will have …

Climate change may reduce forest growth and increase forest mortality, which is connected
to high carbon costs through reductions in gross primary production and net ecosystem …

Key message Growth response to climate differs between species and elevation. Fir is the
most drought-tolerant species. The mountain forests are robust to the climatic changes until …

The increasing impacts of climate change on forest ecosystems have triggered multiple
model‐based impact assessments for the future, which typically focused either on a small …
