Future climate scenarios for the boreal zone project increasing temperatures and
precipitation, as well as extreme weather events such as heavy rain during the growing …

Soil waterlogging is predicted to increase in the future climate in boreal regions due to
increased precipitation. Snowmelt periods in winter may also become more common and …

Context Waterlogging is predicted to become more common in boreal forests during winter
and early spring with climate change. So far, little is known about the waterlogging tolerance …

In the future management and sustainable use of boreal forests, it is crucial to consider the
rate and strength of tree responses to an elevated water table and the concurrent oxygen …

Drought has been frequently discussed as a trigger for forest decline. Today, large-scale
Scots pine decline is observed in many dry inner-Alpine valleys, with drought discussed as …

Excess water in the rooting zone critically reduces tree growth and may even kill trees;
however, the relative importance of damage to roots versus aboveground parts and the time …

The warmer winters of the future will increase snow-melt frequency and rainfall, thereby
increasing the risk of soil waterlogging and its effects on trees in winter and spring at …

As the number of drought occurrences has been predicted to increase with increasing
temperatures, it is believed that boreal forests will become particularly vulnerable to …

This study reports eddy-covariance measurements of carbon and water fluxes in a boreal
Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) forest during the 1999–2008 growing seasons. We found that …

An increase in frequency, intensity and duration of drought events affects forested
ecosystems. Trees react to these changes by adjusting stomatal conductance to maximize …
