Due to the recent spread of forest die-off worldwide, concerns arise about the relative
influence of specific climate parameters on tree growth decline in semi-arid environments …

More frequent and intense droughts are projected during the next century, potentially
changing the hydrological balances in many forested catchments. Although the impacts of …

Tree mortality and forest dieback episodes are increasing due to drought and heat stress.
Nevertheless, a comprehensive understanding of mechanisms enabling trees to withstand …

Mechanistic water balance models can be used to predict soil moisture dynamics and
drought stress in individual forest stands. Predicting current and future levels of plant …

In order to develop adequate adaptation measures for environmental vulnerability, we need
detailed knowledge on the climatic performance of forest ecosystems. In this study, we aim …

The increase in frequency, severity, and duration of droughts poses as a serious issue to the
management of forests in the Iberian Peninsula, with particular emphasis on the decline of …

Two drought stress indices were applied to managed as well as old-growth beech forests
and gaps for the 2001 to 2013 period to aid in the development of an efficient tool for field …

Previous favorable climate conditions stimulate tree growth making some forests more
vulnerable to hotter droughts. This so-called structural overshoot may contribute to forest …

Drought is a significant natural hazard with widespread socioeconomic and environmental
impacts. This study investigated the long-term drought characteristics in a Mediterranean …

We lack information regarding the main factors driving growth responses to drought in tree
species with different vulnerability against this stressor and considering sites with …
