Global change and forest disturbances in the Mediterranean basin: Breakthroughs, knowledge gaps, and recommendations
J Peñuelas, J Sardans - Forests, 2021 - mdpi.com
Forest ecosystems in the Mediterranean Basin are mostly situated in the north of the Basin
(mesic). In the most southern and dry areas, the forest can only exist where topography …

Evaluation of morphological, physiological, and biochemical traits for assessing drought resistance in eleven tree species
The frequency and severity of drought are expected to increase due to climate change;
therefore, selection of tree species for afforestation should consider drought resistance of the …

Standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI) revisited: parameter fitting, evapotranspiration models, tools, datasets and drought monitoring
The standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI) was developed in 2010 and
has been used in an increasing number of climatology and hydrology studies. The objective …

The combined effects of a long‐term experimental drought and an extreme drought on the use of plant‐water sources in a Mediterranean forest
Vegetation in water‐limited ecosystems relies strongly on access to deep water reserves to
withstand dry periods. Most of these ecosystems have shallow soils over deep groundwater …

Highest drought sensitivity and lowest resistance to growth suppression are found in the range core of the tree Fagus sylvatica L. not the equatorial range edge
L Cavin, AS Jump - Global change biology, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Biogeographical and ecological theory suggests that species distributions should be driven
to higher altitudes and latitudes as global temperatures rise. Such changes occur as growth …

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 …

Precipitation–productivity relationships and the duration of precipitation anomalies: an underappreciated dimension of climate change
In terrestrial ecosystems, climate change forecasts of increased frequencies and magnitudes
of wet and dry precipitation anomalies are expected to shift precipitation–net primary …

Impacts of global change on Mediterranean forests and their services
The increase in aridity, mainly by decreases in precipitation but also by higher temperatures,
is likely the main threat to the diversity and survival of Mediterranean forests. Changes in …

Climate Warming-Related Growth Decline Affects Fagus sylvatica, But Not Other Broad-Leaved Tree Species in Central European Mixed Forests
Climate warming is predicted to extend the duration and enhance the severity of summer
droughts in Central Europe, which may pose a serious risk to forest productivity and forest …
