TL;DR: In this paper, a necessary task for assessing to which degree the industrial period is unusual against the background of pre-industrial climate variability is discussed, which is the reconstruction and interpretation of temporal and spatial patterns of climate in earlier centuries.

TL;DR: This study highlights the substantial plasticity of Aleppo pine in response to different climatic conditions, and suggests a more complex forest dynamics modeling approach that includes the contribution of genetic variation and phenotypic plasticity can improve the reliability of the ecological inferences derived from the climate-growth relationships.

TL;DR: This article investigated the magnitude and timing of climate variability during the Little Ice Age (LIA) in the mountains of the Iberian Peninsula, based on a wide range of natural records (including from glacial, periglacial, and lacustrine/peatland areas; fluvial/alluvial deposits; speleothems; and tree rings), historical documents, and early instrument data.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the leaf phenology of European beech (Fagus sylvatica) and its variation due to spatial and temporal climatic variability, using a modified data set of the phenological network in Slovenia.

TL;DR: Mediterranean oaks showed specific differences in AN that go beyond the common morphological leaf traits reported for these species (reduced leaf area and thick leaves), which resulted mainly from the differences in gm, the most limiting factor for carbon assimilation in these species.
