Social-ecological systems underpinning nature-based solutions (NbS) must be resilient to
changing conditions if NbS are to contribute to long-term climate change adaptation. We …

Forest thinning can significantly affect hydrological processes. However, these effects
largely vary with forest types, climate, thinning intensity, and hydrological variables of …

In Mediterranean areas where drought-induced forest dieback and tree mortality have been
widely reported, it is still under debate how the likely risks of climate change will affect tree …

Abstract Purpose of Review Forests provide multiple ecosystem services (ES) to society, and
the demand for ES is growing at the global level. However, how to manage forests for the …

Key message A higher mortality of dominant trees under drought stress is explained by
impacts of tree size, canopy-and root structure and the hydraulic transport system. Abstract …

Woody encroachment due to changes in climate or in the disturbance regimes (fire and
herbivory) has been observed throughout the savannah biome over the last century with …

The Mediterranean evergreen oak coppices of Southern Europe are increasingly vulnerable
to drought because of both the ongoing climate change that increases drought length and …

Forest plantations are more vulnerable to the stress induced by biotic and abiotic factors
than are naturally regenerated forests. These effects can be aggravated by a lack of …

Drought-induced productivity reductions and tree mortality have been increasing in recent
decades in forests around the globe. Prescribed reduction in stand density, ie thinning, has …

In the Mediterranean region most climatic forecasts predict longer and more intense drought
periods that can affect tree growth and mortality over broad geographic regions. One of the …
