Trends toward an earlier peak of the growing season in Northern Hemisphere mid‐latitudes
Abstract Changes in peak photosynthesis timing (PPT) could substantially change the
seasonality of the terrestrial carbon cycle. Spring PPT in dry regions has been documented …

Correlated evolution of morphology, gas exchange, growth rates and hydraulics as a response to precipitation and temperature regimes in oaks (Quercus)
It is hypothesised that tree distributions in Europe are largely limited by their ability to cope
with the summer drought imposed by the Mediterranean climate in the southern areas and …

Stand competition determines how different tree species will cope with a warming climate
Plant-plant interactions influence how forests cope with climate and contribute to modulate
species response to future climate scenarios. We analysed the functional relationships …

Climate controls act at different scales on the seasonal pattern of Quercus ilex L. stem radial increments in NE Spain
Long-term data on radial increment dynamics in Mediterranean species may identify which
climatic variables are the main constraints for radial growth and at which temporal scales …

Impacts of recurrent dry and wet years alter long‐term tree growth trajectories
Climate extremes, such as abnormally dry and wet conditions, generate abrupt shifts in tree
growth, a situation which is expected to increase under predicted climate conditions. Thus, it …

Quercus ilex L. dieback is genetically determined: Evidence provided by dendrochronology, δ13C and SSR genotyping
Quercus ilex L. dieback has been reported in several Mediterranean forests, revealing
