Future anthropogenic-induced changes to the earth's climate will likely include increases in
temperature and changes in precipitation that will increase the frequency and severity of …

Background Mistletoes are the most successful group of obligatory hemi-parasitic flowering
plants that attach to the host via haustorium for obtaining water and minerals. This review …

Common mistletoe is increasingly mentioned as contributing not only to the decline of
deciduous trees at roadside and in city parks, but to conifers in stands. The presence of …

This account presents information on all aspects of the biology of Viscum album L.(Mistletoe)
that are relevant to understanding its ecological characteristics and behaviour. The main …

Winter‐drought induced forest diebacks in the low‐latitude margins of species' distribution
ranges can provide new insights into the mechanisms (carbon starvation, hydraulic failure) …

Global change potentially increases forest vulnerability. Different abiotic and biotic factors
may interact to cause forest decline and accelerated tree mortality. We studied a mixed …

Biotic disturbances are affecting a wide range of tree species in all climates, and their
occurrence is contributing to increasing rates of tree mortality globally. Mistletoe is a …

Forest dieback is one of the most widespread responses to global-change drivers, such as
climate warming-related drought stress and the spread of pathogens. Although both climatic …

There is a need to better understand how different biotic and abiotic factors interact to
determine climate change enhanced tree mortality. Here, we investigated whether rising …

Submediterranean forests are considered an ecotone between Mediterranean and
Eurosiberian ecosystems, and are very sensitive to global change. A decline of Scots pine …
