The frequency and intensity of heat stress events globally have increased over the past 20
years. Climatic modeling predicts that this trend will continue throughout the 21st century …

Climate change is causing more frequent and severe climatic events, such as extreme heat
and co-occurring drought, potentially accelerating tree mortality. Which tree species will …

Recent hot droughts have caused tree vitality decline and increased mortality in many forest
regions on earth. Most of Central Europe's important timber species have suffered from the …

Abstract Most of Central Europe's economically important tree species have suffered vitality
losses, growth decline and locally increased mortality during recent hot droughts. Foresters …

With climate warming, the frequency and severity of extreme climatic events such as heat
waves increase the risk of temperature-induced leaf damage. Severe damage can …

Photorespiration (PR) greatly reduces net carbon assimilation in trees (by c. 25%), but has
received recent attention particular for its potential role in stress-signaling through the …

The physiological and biochemical responses of pedunculate oaks (Quercus robur L.) to
heat stress (HS) and mycorrhization (individually as well in combination) were estimated …

The stability of monocultural, even-aged spruce forests at lower altitudes in Central Europe
is seriously threatened by the prospects of global climate change. The thermostability and …

European beech is one of the most common tree species in Europe and is generally
suggested to play even more of a prominent role in forestry in the future. It seems to have the …

Increased temperature and prolonged soil moisture reduction have distinct impacts on tree
photosynthetic properties. Yet, our knowledge of their combined effect is limited. Moreover …
