Recent studies have revealed that European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) has significantly
increased its growth in Central Europe during the last century but recently started to decline …

European beech plays a prominent role in the adaptation of European forests to and
mitigation of climate change. Forest management may increase the mitigation potential of …

In the context of forecasted climate change scenarios, the growth of forest tree species at
their distribution margin is crucial to adapt current forest management strategies. Analyses of …

Key message In the center of the species' distribution range in Germany, European beech
stands show continued climate-change-related growth decline since the 1980s at low …

Anticipated changes in climate and research findings on the drought sensitivity of beech
have triggered controversial discussions about the future of European beech. We …

European forests are becoming increasingly threatened by climate change and more
frequent droughts. The likely responses of species to climate change will vary, affecting their …

Global warming and increasing drought severity are exposing temperate forests to
increasing stress, challenging silvicultural decision making. Growth analyses in marginal …

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 …

Abstract Purpose of Review This paper aims to retrace the most significant management
strategies adopted across European beech forests over the last 25 years, highlighting those …

Future changes in tree growth, associated with a warmer and drier climate, are predicted for
many species and locations across the European Mediterranean Basin. However …
