Drought-associated woody-plant mortality has been increasing in most regions with multi-
decadal records and is projected to increase in the future, impacting terrestrial climate …

European beech (Fagus sylvatica) is the dominant tree species of Central Europe's natural
forests and one of the continent's most important timber species. This highly competitive …

Severe droughts have the potential to reduce forest productivity and trigger tree mortality.
Most trees face several drought events during their life and therefore resilience to dry …

Droughts in a warming climate have become more common and more extreme, making
understanding forest responses to water stress increasingly pressing. Analysis of water …

Resilience is a key concept in ecology and describes the capacity of an ecosystem to
maintain its state and recover from disturbances. Numerous metrics have been applied to …

Plant responses to drought and heat stress have been extensively studied, whereas post-
stress recovery, which is fundamental to understanding stress resilience, has received much …

The intensity and frequency of droughts events are projected to increase in future with
expected adverse effects for forests. Thus, information on the dynamics of tree water uptake …

Abstract Purpose of the Review Weather and climate extremes substantially affect global-
and regional-scale carbon (C) cycling, and thus spatially or temporally extended climatic …

Resilience is a key concept in ecology, describing the capacity of a system to resist a
disturbance, recover from it and return to a stable state (Lloret et al., 2011; Hodgson et al …

Photosynthetic carbon (C) allocated below‐ground can be shared with mycorrhizal fungi in
exchange for nutrients, but also added into soil as rhizodeposits that potentially increases …
