Climate change is expected to increase the frequency and severity of droughts. These
events, which can cause significant perturbations of terrestrial ecosystems and potentially …

Recent studies have identified strong relationships between delayed recovery of tree growth
after drought and tree mortality caused by subsequent droughts. These observations raise …

Abstract Purpose of Review The capacity of woody plants to cope with climate change
depends on their adjustments to changing environmental conditions by phenotypic plasticity …

Tree species display a wide variety of water‐use strategies, growth rates and capacity to
tolerate drought. However, if we want to forecast species capacity to cope with increasing …

Enhancing tree diversity may be important to fostering resilience to drought‐related climate
extremes. So far, little attention has been given to whether tree diversity can increase the …

Climate change is increasing the severity and frequency of droughts around the globe,
leading to tree mortality that reduces production and provision of other ecosystem services …

European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) has strongly suffered from the exceptional 2018
drought and subsequent dry years that hit Central Europe. While many trees showed severe …

Rear‐edge populations at the xeric distribution limit of tree species are particularly
vulnerable to forest dieback triggered by drought. This is the case of silver fir (Abies alba) …

We lack understanding of how variable is radial growth of coexisting tree and shrub species,
and how growth is constrained by drought depending on site aridity. Here, we compared the …

Aim Forest dieback is increasing from unfavourable climate conditions. Western redcedar
(WRC)—a culturally, ecologically and economically important species—has recently …
