Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]) is increasing, which increases leaf‐scale
photosynthesis and intrinsic water‐use efficiency. These direct responses have the potential …

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 …

Land vegetation is currently taking up large amounts of atmospheric CO2, possibly due to
tree growth stimulation. Extant models predict that this growth stimulation will continue to …

Energy and water limitations of tree growth remain insufficiently understood at large
spatiotemporal scales, hindering model representation of interannual or longer-term …

Large projected increases in forest disturbance pose a major threat to future wood fiber
supply and carbon sequestration in the cold-limited, Canadian boreal forest ecosystem …

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 …

Climate model projections suggest widespread drying in the Mediterranean Basin and
wetting in Fennoscandia in the coming decades largely as a consequence of greenhouse …

Stand structure can strongly influence forest growth and other processes, such as the water
balance, carbon partitioning, nutrient cycling and light dynamics. However, individual …

Considerable evidence exists that current global temperatures are higher than at any time
during the past millennium. However, the long-term impacts of rising temperatures and …

Improving our understanding of the potential of forest adaptation is an urgent task in the light
of predicted climate change. Long‐term alternatives for susceptible yet economically …
