TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the first global assessment of recent tree mortality attributed to drought and heat stress and identify key information gaps and scientific uncertainties that currently hinder our ability to predict tree mortality in response to climate change and emphasizes the need for a globally coordinated observation system.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used satellite imagery and extensive field measurements to examine the landscape-level pattern and impact of an extensive disturbance episode that occurred in the early 2000s in primeval forest dominated by Picea abies in the Arkhangelsk region, Russia, due to drought and subsequent bark beetle (Ips typographus) outbreak.

TL;DR: The identified active compounds are interesting candidates for the development of a plant-derived fungicide active against a key pathogen in agriculture, providing an opportunity to the forest industry to transform low value by-products into high value-added, bioactive extracts.

TL;DR: Picea abies being the more adaptive species would be more responsive to climate changes in terms of survival and growth rate than P. obovata, in case of sustainable climate warming in the Northern areas of the Russian Plain, the further propagation and major distribution of P. Obovata can be expected.
