In many parts of Europe, close-to-nature silviculture (CNS) has been widely advocated as
being the best approach for managing forests to cope with future climate change. In this …

Extreme droughts are expected to increase in frequency and severity in many regions of the

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 …

Resilience is the central concept for understanding how an ecosystem responds to a strong
perturbation, and is related to other concepts used to analyze system properties in the face …

Drought will increasingly threaten forest ecosystems worldwide. Understanding how
competition influences tree growth response to drought is essential for forest management …

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 many parts of the world, forests are likely to face novel disturbance regimes as a result of
global change processes, and there is concern that the capacity of forest ecosystems to …

Some forest‐related studies on possible effects of climate change conclude that growth
