Evolutionary responses are required for tree populations to be able to track climate change.
Results of 250 years of common garden experiments show that most forest trees have …

This review attempts to synthesize the available literature on tropical dry forests and their
dynamics in the context of climate change and thereby identifies possible gaps and priority …

Despite growing evidence that diverse forests play an important role in ecosystem
functioning, ensuring the provision of different ecosystem services, whether such diversity …

Recent studies projecting future climate change impacts on forests mainly consider either
the effects of climate change on productivity or on disturbances. However, productivity and …

Natural disturbances play a key role in ecosystem dynamics and are important factors for
sustainable forest ecosystem management. Quantitative models are frequently employed to …

Studies on Fagus sylvatica show that growth in populations toward the southern limit of this
species' distribution is limited strongly by drought. Warming temperatures in the …

Abstract free air carbon dioxide enrichment (FACE) and open top chamber (OTC) studies
are valuable tools for evaluating the impact of elevated atmospheric CO2 on nutrient cycling …

In a Mediterranean shrubland, we investigated the effects of the projected warming and
drought on soil urease, protease and β-glucosidase activities and the relation of the possible …

We analyzed the impact of drought measured on different time-scales on radial growth of
eight tree species during the period 1950–2005 growing across a wide climatic gradient …

Most large‐scale multispecies studies of tree growth have been conducted in tropical and
cool temperate forests, whereas Mediterranean water‐limited ecosystems have received …
