Climate warming and increasing aridity have impacted diverse ecosystems in the
Mediterranean region since at least the 1970s. Pinus pinea L. has significant environmental …

Within-range effects of climatic change on tree growth at the sub-regional scale remain
poorly understood. The aim of this research was to use climate and radial-growth data to …

Current decreasing precipitation and increasing temperatures, together with the growing
likelihood of extreme drought events, may heighten the vulnerability of several tree …

Abstract Key Message We used tree ring analysis to assess the response of Pinus pinea to
climate change in South Iberia. Climate–growth relationships changed over time, with …

Climate, competition and site conditions are the main drivers controlling annual secondary
growth in tree species. These factors do no act independently on tree growth, but by means …

Abstract Context Six Pinus pinea stands growing under the Mediterranean type climate in
Italy along the Tyrrhenian and Sardinian coasts. Aims To identify the main climatic factors …

Tree populations located at the geographical distribution limit of the species may provide
valuable information about tree‐growth response to changes on climatic conditions. We …

The effects of climate change on forest growth are not homogeneous across tree species
distribution ranges because of inter-population variability and spatial heterogeneity …

Considerable progress has been made in assessing European climate variations of the last
millennium, but little is known about the Mediterranean region and particularly its eastern …

In view of the projected increases in the frequency and duration of drought events in the
Mediterranean basin, a better understanding how differences in stand structure influence …
