Mountain areas are biodiversity hotspots and provide a multitude of ecosystem services of
irreplaceable socio‐economic value. In the European Alps, air temperature has increased at …

Multi‐year lags in tree drought recovery, termed 'drought legacy effects', are important for
understanding the impacts of drought on forest ecosystems, including carbon (C) cycle …

Abstract In 2018, Central Europe experienced one of the most severe and long-lasting
summer drought and heat wave ever recorded. Before 2018, the 2003 millennial drought …

Climatic warming alters the onset, duration and cessation of the vegetative season. While
previous studies have shown a tight link between thermal conditions and leaf phenology …

Anthropogenic climate change pushes forest ecosystems globally beyond their limits.
Widespread events of forest die-off have been attributed to direct and indirect impacts of …

The frequency and severity of drought are expected to increase due to climate change;
therefore, selection of tree species for afforestation should consider drought resistance of the …

Extreme droughts are expected to increase in frequency and severity in many regions of the
world, threatening multiple ecosystem services provided by forests. Effective strategies to …

During the particularly severe hot summer drought in 2018, widespread premature leaf
senescence was observed in several broadleaved tree species in Central Europe …

Late-spring frosts (LSFs) affect the performance of plants and animals across the world's
temperate and boreal zones, but despite their ecological and economic impact on …

Atmospheric dryness, as indicated by vapor pressure deficit (VPD), has a strong influence
on forest greenhouse gas exchange with the atmosphere. In this study, we used long‐term …
