Climate change is challenging forestry management and practices. Among other things, tree
species with the ability to cope with more extreme climate conditions have to be identified …

Tree-ring chronologies were examined to investigate the influence of climate on radial
growth of Pinus nigra in southeastern Spain. We addressed whether drought differentially …

Climate change projections indicate drier conditions and an increase in the frequency and
duration of extreme drought events in the coming decades in Central Europe. However, it is …

Tree water deficit estimated by measuring water-related changes in stem radius (Δ W) was
compared with tree water deficit estimated from the output of a simple, physiologically …

The influence of climatic factors on the growth of Corsican pine, growing at low elevation on
acidic well-drained soils in western France, was evaluated by comparing annual earlywood …

Question: Lower montane treeline ecotones such as the inner Alpine dry valleys are
regarded as sensitive to climate change. In the dry Valais valley (Switzerland) the …

Mediterranean pine plantations provide several ecosystem services but are vulnerable to
climate change. Forest management might play a strategic role in the adaptation of …

There is an ongoing debate about how European beech might be affected by a future drier
climate. While numerous studies have examined the effects of soil drought on beech growth …

Abstract Increasing Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) mortality has been recently observed in
the dry inner valleys of the European Alps. Besides drought, infection with pine mistletoe …
