Fagus sylvatica is one of the most representative trees of the European deciduous
broadleaved forests, yet the impact of changing climatic conditions and anthropogenic …

Studies on Fagus sylvatica show that growth in populations toward the southern limit of this
species' distribution is limited strongly by drought. Warming temperatures in the …

Abrupt climate change in the past is thought to have disrupted societies by accelerating
environmental degradation, potentially leading to cultural collapse. Linking climate change …

Abstract free air carbon dioxide enrichment (FACE) and open top chamber (OTC) studies
are valuable tools for evaluating the impact of elevated atmospheric CO2 on nutrient cycling …

Productivity of old‐growth beech forests in the Mediterranean Basin was measured by
average stem basal area increment (BAI) of dominant trees at two mountain sites in the …

Climatically controlled allocation to reproduction is a key mechanism by which climate
influences tree growth and may explain lagged correlations between climate and growth …

In response to a request from Congress, Surface Temperature Reconstructions for the Last
2,000 Years assesses the state of scientific efforts to reconstruct surface temperature records …

Climate change is increasing the frequency of extreme climate events, causing profound
impacts on forest function and composition. Late frost defoliation (LFD) events, the loss of …

Aim To identify the dominant spatial patterns of Fagus sylvatica radial growth in the Eastern
Alps, and to understand their relationships to climate variation and bioclimatic gradients …

Long-term variation in tree-ring widths (1873–2006) and intra-annual dynamics of cambial
activity and tree-ring formation in 2006 were studied in mature beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) …
