TL;DR: An international summer course, "Tree Rings, Climate, Natural Resources, and Human Interaction" as mentioned in this paper, was held in Valsain, Spain, in summer of 2012, with 14 participants from three countries (Spain, Algeria, and Russia).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between the growth of high-elevation shrubs and their sensitivity to climate in dry regions, providing new evidence for drought-mediated dynamics of alpine woody plants.

TL;DR: Linares et al. as mentioned in this paper studied the effects of climate change and human-induced impact on tree decline in the Atlas cedar forests from northern Morocco and found that an understanding of the interactions between climate change, overgrazing and logging is needed for decision making in forest conservation and management.

TL;DR: This study studied the impact of defoliation by the pine processionary moth in two infested Pinus nigra forests through a multilevel sampling of defoliated and non-defoliated trees and observed shifts in the composition of needle endophytic and soil fungal communities in defoliate trees.

TL;DR: This work compared growth and defoliation data with recent climate variability and drought severity in Abies pinsapo old and young trees sampled in Southern Spain to assess the growth sensitivity and test if relative changes in radial growth were related with recentdefoliation, for instance, after severe droughts.
