The photosynthetic responses to the combined effect of drought and heat stress were
studied in leaves of 19-years-old European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) trees originating from …

The assisted migration of resistant seeds and seedlings may be a key to mitigating the
effects of climate change on the productivity and composition of forest ecosystems. These …

Due to its wide European distribution and its drought-susceptibility, beech (Fagus sylvatica
L.) received intensive attention recently in the light of global warming. Contrary to central …

Abstract Changes in photosystem II (PSII) thermotolerance during drought and recovery
were studied under controlled conditions in three Mediterranean cedar species (Cedrus …

European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) seedlings of three different origins were used to
evaluate the effect of water deficit and recovery during the most vulnerable phase of forest …

In the context of an increased risk of extreme drought events across Europe during the next
decades, the capacity of trees to recover and survive drought periods awaits further …

Trees experience frequent periods of severe drought during their long lives and must
therefore be able to recover and compensate for the limitations of previous stresses. In this …

Physiological responses of two provenances of European beech (Fagus sylvatica) were
studied in seedlings grown at two [CO2] in combination with four temperature treatments. For …

Heat negatively affects photosynthesis, thus tree growth and eventually survivability. The
light-dependent photosynthesis reactions are considered highly heat sensitive; therefore, we …

The rate of net CO2 assimilation (A) in cedar needles declined during drought progression,
while the quantum yield of electron transport measured under moderate light and high CO2 …
