Biogeographical and ecological theory suggests that species distributions should be driven
to higher altitudes and latitudes as global temperatures rise. Such changes occur as growth …

Aim Climate limits the potential distribution ranges of species. Establishment and growth of
individuals at range margins is assumed to be more limited by extreme events such as …

Aim The dominant forest tree in Europe, European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), covers large
areas of continental Europe and thus experiences diverse climatic conditions. In the face of …

The aim of our study was to determine variation in the response of radial growth in Fagus
sylvatica L (European Beech) to climate across the species full geographical distribution and …

The growth of past, present, and future forests was, is and will be affected by climate
variability. This multifaceted relationship has been assessed in several regional studies, but …

Studies on Fagus sylvatica show that growth in populations toward the southern limit of this
species' distribution is limited strongly by drought. Warming temperatures in the …

Climate extremes are predicted to become more frequent and intense in future. Thus,
understanding how trees respond to adverse climatic conditions is crucial for evaluating …

Increasing exposure to climate warming‐related drought and heat threatens forest vitality in
many regions on earth, with the trees' vulnerability likely depending on local climatic aridity …

Background Equatorward, rear-edge tree populations are natural monitors to estimate
species vulnerability to climate change. According to biogeographical theory, exposition to …

Species distribution shifts in response to climate change require that recruitment increase
beyond current range boundaries. For trees with long life spans, the importance of climate …
