Plant responses to drought and heat stress have been extensively studied, whereas post-
stress recovery, which is fundamental to understanding stress resilience, has received much …

Against the background of the ongoing climate change, forest science and Central-
European forest management need information about tree species that are suitable of …

The increasing frequency and intensity of heat waves caused significant damages to urban
woody species, and the different leaf structures between evergreen and deciduous species …

The frequency and severity of heatwave events are increasing, exposing species to
conditions beyond their physiological limits. Species respond to heatwaves in different ways …

Climate extremes such as heat waves and droughts are projected to occur more frequently
with increasing temperature and an intensified hydrological cycle. It is important to …

As climate change progresses, the frequency and duration of drought stress events are
increasing. While the mechanisms of drought acclimation of trees has received considerable …

The constant rise in the global temperature and unpredictable shifts in precipitation patterns
are two of the main effects of climate change. Therefore, there is an increasing amount of …

Abstract Background Most North American temperate forests are plantation or regrowth
forests, which are actively managed. These forests are in different stages of their growth …

Factorial experiments of combined warming and elevated CO 2 are rarely performed but
essential for our understanding of plant physiological responses to climate change. Studies …
