Tree growth as indicator of tree vitality and of tree reaction to environmental stress: a review
M Dobbertin - European Journal of Forest Research, 2005 - Springer
The intensive monitoring plots (Level II) of ICP Forests serve to examine the effects of air
pollution and other stress factors on forest condition, including tree vitality. However, tree …

Silver fir and Douglas fir are more tolerant to extreme droughts than Norway spruce in south‐western Germany
Improving our understanding of the potential of forest adaptation is an urgent task in the light
of predicted climate change. Long‐term alternatives for susceptible yet economically …

A theory-driven approach to tree-ring standardization: defining the biological trend from expected basal area increment
One of the main elements of dendrochronological standardization is removing the biological
trend, ie the progressive decline of ring width along a cross-sectional radius that is caused …

Drought as an inciting mortality factor in Scots pine stands of the Valais, Switzerland
During the 20th century, high mortality rates of Scots pine (Pinus silvestris L.) have been
observed over large areas in the Rhône valley (Valais, Switzerland) and in other dry valleys …

Global warming-related tree growth decline and mortality on the north-eastern Tibetan plateau
Semi-arid forests at the limit of their existence close to the Gobi Desert in Inner Asia might be
vulnerable to warming-induced drought stress. Yet, not much is known about the impact of …

From pattern to process: linking intrinsic water‐use efficiency to drought‐induced forest decline
JC Linares, JJ Camarero - Global Change Biology, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
The rise in atmospheric CO2 concentrations (Ca) has been related to tree growth
enhancement and increasing intrinsic water‐use efficiency (iWUE). However, the extent that …

Importance of resin ducts in reducing ponderosa pine mortality from bark beetle attack
The relative importance of growth and defense to tree mortality during drought and bark
beetle attacks is poorly understood. We addressed this issue by comparing growth and …

Regeneration patterns after intermediate wind disturbance in an old-growth Fagus–Abies forest in southeastern Slovenia
We studied patterns of tree regeneration in relation to canopy structure in a 1-ha plot
damaged by an intermediate windstorm in 1983 and a 1-ha control plot regulated by small …
