Although disturbances such as fire and native insects can contribute to natural dynamics of
forest health, exceptional droughts, directly and in combination with other disturbance …

Accumulating evidence highlights increased mortality risks for trees during severe drought,
particularly under warmer temperatures and increasing vapour pressure deficit (VPD) …

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 …

Grapevine trunk diseases (GTDs) are major biotic factors reducing yields and limiting
vineyard economic life spans. Fungi in the GTD complex cause a range of symptoms in host …

Abstract Key message Coexisting Mediterranean oaks are differently predisposed to heat-
and drought-induced dieback as a function of height, prior growth, wood anatomy, and …

Novel forest decline is increasing due to global environmental change, yet the causal factors
and their interactions remain poorly understood. Using tree ring analyses, we show how …

Forests are expected to become more vulnerable to drought-induced tree mortality owing to
rising temperatures and changing precipitation patterns that amplify drought lethality. There …

Key message European beech showed low resistance but high resilience in radial growth
after an extreme late frost event. Site-specific growth reductions correlated with absolute …

Oak decline as a complex syndrome is one of the most relevant forest diseases worldwide.
This disease has a complex and multifactorial nature, and this has caused conventional …

Oak decline is a general term used for the progressive dieback and eventual mortality of oak
trees due to many compounding stressors, typically a combination of predisposing, inciting …
