The global forest carbon (C) stock is estimated at 662 Gt of which 45% is in soil organic
matter. Thus, comprehensive understanding of the effects of forest management practices on …

Forest thinning can significantly affect hydrological processes. However, these effects
largely vary with forest types, climate, thinning intensity, and hydrological variables of …

Increasing frequency of extremely dry and hot summers in some regions emphasise the
need for silvicultural approaches to increase the drought tolerance of existing forests in the …

In most dendroecological studies, climate–tree growth relationships are established for trees
growing on pure stands. However, response to climate may be affected by inter-species …

Most large‐scale multispecies studies of tree growth have been conducted in tropical and
cool temperate forests, whereas Mediterranean water‐limited ecosystems have received …

In Mediterranean areas where drought-induced forest dieback and tree mortality have been
widely reported, it is still under debate how the likely risks of climate change will affect tree …

In addition to global warming, the frequency and the intensity of droughts will probably
increase in central and southern Europe. Resulting climate changes and soil water deficits …

Mixed conifer–hardwood forests can be more productive than pure forests and they are
increasingly considered as ecosystems that could provide adaptation strategies in the face …

The combined study of carbon (C) and oxygen (O) isotopes in plant organic matter has
emerged as a powerful tool for understanding plant functional responses to environmental …

We investigated the tree growth and physiological response of five pine forest stands in
relation to changes in atmospheric CO2 concentration (ca) and climate in the Iberian …
