We reviewed recent literature to identify the positive and negative effects of thinning on both
stand-and tree-level resistance and resilience to four stressors that are expected to increase …

Increasing durations and frequencies of droughts under climate change endanger the
sustainable functioning of forests worldwide. The admixture of species with complementary …

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

Short-term experimental studies provided evidence that plant diversity increases ecosystem
resilience and resistance to drought events, suggesting diversity to serve as a nature-based …

A recent increase in the intensity and frequency of climate extremes under global warming is
likely to continue to cause unprecedented rates of forest dieback in different habitats around …

Resilience is a fundamental concept for vegetation health. The increasing drought frequency
and severity may pose severe threat to vegetation resilience. However, it is still not clear …

Resilience and vulnerability are important concepts to understand, anticipate, and manage
global change impacts on forest ecosystems. However, they are often used confusingly and …

Against the backdrop of global change, the intensity, duration, and frequency of droughts are
projected to increase and threaten forest ecosystems worldwide. Tree responses to drought …

With climate change, the frequency and duration of droughts are increasing, strongly
impacting forest ecosystems. Therefore, a thorough understanding of the factors influencing …

The frequency of consecutive drought years is predicted to increase due to climate change.
These droughts have strong negative impacts on forest ecosystems. Mixing tree species is …
