Global climate change is a change in the long-term weather patterns that characterize the
regions of the world. Scientists state unequivocally that the earth is warming. Natural climate …

Increasing temperatures and drought risks through climate change are expected to have
several consequences for European forests. Adaptive strategies may include:(i) persistence …

Climatic warming may lead to increased or decreased future forest productivity. However,
more frequent heat waves, droughts and storms and accompanying pathogen attacks are …

We are living in an era of rapidly developing technology. Dynamic systems control is not a
