We synthesize insights from current understanding of drought impacts at stand‐to‐
biogeographic scales, including management options, and we identify challenges to be …

Climate refugia, locations where taxa survive periods of regionally adverse climate, are
thought to be critical for maintaining biodiversity through the glacial–interglacial climate …

Although numerous species distribution models have been developed, most were based on
insufficient distribution data or used older climate change scenarios. We aimed to quantify …

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 …

Ecological niches reflect not only adaptation to local circumstances but also the tendency of
related lineages to share environmental tolerances. As a result, information on phylogenetic …

Among the coniferous species, Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) is one of the most
important trees in Europe both for economic and ecological aspects, with a long tradition of …

ABSTRACT Quaternary (last 2.6 million years) botany involves studying plant megafossils
(eg tree stumps), macrofossils (eg seeds, leaves), and microfossils (eg pollen, spores) …

Aim Palaeoecological reconstructions document past vegetation change, with estimates of
fast shifts in species distributions. The resulting rates of plant spread are often not matched …

ABSTRACT Silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) is one of the most valuable conifer trees in Europe for
historical and economic reasons. Growing interest in the species, along with the recognition …

Aim Climate change is expected to modify growth trends of forests around the world.
However, this modification may vary in strength and intensity across a species' …
