Abstract Purpose of Review Despite the rapidly increasing use of resilience indices to
analyze responses of trees and forests to disturbance events, there is so far no common …

The frequency and intensity of droughts have increased over the decades, leading to
increased forest decline. The response of forest to drought can be evaluated by both its …

Recent studies have identified strong relationships between delayed recovery of tree growth
after drought and tree mortality caused by subsequent droughts. These observations raise …

We reviewed recent literature to identify the positive and negative effects of thinning on both
stand-and tree-level resistance and resilience to four stressors that are expected to increase …

Key message Under severe drought, growth of Norway spruce suffered much more than

economically important tree species in Europe co-occurring on mesotrophic, xeric and mesic …

How drought affects tree and stand growth is an old question, but is getting unprecedented
relevance in view of climate change. Stress effects related to drought have been mostly …

Global climate change and the increase in the frequency and intensity of drought have led to
widespread forest decline and tree mortality. Studying the resilience components of tree …

Forecasting the growth of tree species to future environmental changes requires a better
