Climate change is a multidimensional phenomenon. As such, no single metric can capture
all trajectories of change and associated impacts. While numerous metrics exist to measure …

Rapid advances in hardware and software, accompanied by public-and private-sector
investment, have led to a new generation of data-driven computational tools. Recently, there …

Spring vegetation growth can benefit summer growth by increasing foliage area and carbon
sequestration potential, or impair it by consuming additional resources needed for …

Episodic tree mortality can be caused by various reasons. This study describes climate‐
driven tree mortality and tree growth in the Black Forest mountain range in Germany. It is …

As the Earth system is exposed to large anthropogenic interferences, it becomes ever more
important to assess the resilience of natural systems, ie, their ability to recover from natural …

The future performance of the widely abundant European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) across
its ecological amplitude is uncertain. Although beech is considered drought-sensitive and …

How forests respond to accelerated climate change will affect the terrestrial carbon cycle. To
better understand these responses, more examples are needed to assess how tree growth …

Air pollution caused by sulphur dioxide (SO 2) and nitrogen oxides (NO x) has negative
impacts on forest health and can initiate forest dieback. Long-term monitoring and analysis …

Climate change is posing new challenges to forestry management practices. Thinning
reduces competitive pressure in the forest by repeatedly reducing the tree density of forest …

Climate change and increased fire are eroding the resilience of boreal forests. This is
problematic because boreal vegetation and the cold soils underneath store approximately …
