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 …

Despite growing evidence that diverse forests play an important role in ecosystem
functioning, ensuring the provision of different ecosystem services, whether such diversity …

A recent increase in the intensity and frequency of climate extremes under global warming is
likely to continue to cause unprecedented rates of forest dieback in different habitats around …

Droughts have intensified in Central Europe and will likely become a major driver of forest
ecosystem change in the future. Regional studies are needed to understand drought …

Quercus robur/Quercus petraea and Pinus sylvestris are widely distributed and
economically important tree species in Europe co-occurring on mesotrophic, xeric and mesic …

Forests are undergoing increasing risks of drought-induced tree mortality. Species
replacement patterns following mortality may have a significant impact on the global carbon …

Temperate forest ecosystems are exposed to a higher frequency, duration and severity of
drought. To promote forest longevity in a changing climate, we require a better …

Understanding how water use and drought stress in woody plants change in relation to
compositional, structural and environmental variability of mixed forests is key to understand …

When trees within forests increase their dimension, the limitation of space (and thus
resources) can cause competition-based mortality. Thus, growth and mortality interact, and …

Multispecies restoration is considered a feasible practice to tackle the decline in ecosystem
services provided by monocultures. However, our understanding of how multispecies …
