Drought as an inciting mortality factor in Scots pine stands of the Valais, Switzerland
During the 20th century, high mortality rates of Scots pine (Pinus silvestris L.) have been
observed over large areas in the Rhône valley (Valais, Switzerland) and in other dry valleys …

Drought-induced multifactor decline of Scots pine in the Pyrenees and potential vegetation change by the expansion of co-occurring oak species
Episodes of drought-induced tree dieback have been recently observed in many forest
areas of the world, particularly at the dry edge of species distributions. Under climate …

Climate change may already threaten Scots pine stands in the Swiss Alps
M Rebetez, M Dobbertin - Theoretical and applied climatology, 2004 - Springer
Large numbers of Scots pine are dying in the dry inner-alpine valleys of the European Alps;
in Switzerland, locally almost half the Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) population has died …
