Tracing drought effects from the tree to the stand growth in temperate and Mediterranean forests: insights and consequences for forest ecology and management
How drought affects tree and stand growth is an old question, but is getting unprecedented
relevance in view of climate change. Stress effects related to drought have been mostly …

[HTML][HTML] Tamm review: Drought-induced Scots pine mortality–trends, contributing factors, and mechanisms
A recent increase in the intensity and frequency of climate extremes under global warming is

Competition‐induced tree mortality across Europe is driven by shade tolerance, proportion of conspecifics and drought
Forest stand densities are increasing in the boreal and temperate biomes, suggesting that
tree‐tree competition is intensifying. Anticipating the consequences of this intensified …

Tree Mortality: revisited under changed climatic and silvicultural conditions
When trees within forests increase their dimension, the limitation of space (and thus
resources) can cause competition-based mortality. Thus, growth and mortality interact, and …

Below average midsummer to early autumn precipitation evolved into the main driver of sudden Scots pine vitality decline in the Swiss Rhône valley
The vitality of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) is declining since the 1990s in many European
regions. This was mostly attributed to the occurrence of hotter droughts, other climatic …
