This paper showed that under forecasted changes in temperature and precipitation, there could be a decline of economically valuable species, which would lead to a loss in the value of European forest land.
Abstract
European forests are threatened by climate change with impacts on the distribution of tree species. Previous discussions on the consequences of biome shifts have concentrated only on ecological issues; however, research now shows that under forecasted changes in temperature and precipitation there could be a decline of economically valuable species, which would lead to a loss in the value of European forest land.

Climatic regulation of leaf and cambial phenology in Quercus pubescens: Their interlinkage and impact on xylem and phloem conduits

TL;DR: In this article , the authors analyzed environmental effects (temperature, precipitation, VPD and SWC) on the timing of leaf phenology, seasonal stem radial growth patterns, and xylem and phloem anatomy of Quercus pubescens in the sub-Mediterranean in the period 2014-2019, when various adverse weather events occurred, i.e. spring drought in 2015, summer fire in 2016 and summer drought in 2017.

Evaluating Strategies for the Management of Douglas-Fir in Central Europe

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate theoretical silvicultural management options of Douglas-fir for forests in central Europe, and they follow a three-step approach: (i) they collect the current central European management practices based on 434 Douglas fir stands managed by 19 forest companies in Eastern Austria and Southern Germany using a survey.

Plant species richness or soil fertility: which affects more the productivity of Scots pine in Central Europe?

TL;DR: In this article, the productivity of even-aged pine stands was estimated based on site index, and the importance of the variables for the site index was examined using Spearman correlations and the stepwise regression.

The forest mitigation-adaptation nexus: Economic benefits of novel planting regimes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Woodstock optimization model to assess the economic trade-offs of the standard and two adaptive planting regimes under historical climate and a severe climate change scenario, and found some risk mitigation through adaptive planting with the greatest benefits through diversification which had higher net present value, growing stock and ecosystem carbon than historic climate with standard stocking.

The effect of bedrock and species mixture on wood density and radial wood increment in pubescent oak and black pine

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of stand mixture, diameter at breast height and bedrock on wood density was examined using a Bayesian general linear model, and the size of the effect varied by bedrock and species.

Climate Change 2001: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors set the stage for impact, adaptation, and vulnerability assessment of climate change in the context of sustainable development and equity, and developed and applied scenarios in Climate Change Impact, Adaptation, and Vulnerability Assessment.

The Economics of Climate Change: The Stern Review

TL;DR: The Stern Review as discussed by the authors is an independent, rigourous and comprehensive analysis of the economic aspects of this crucial issue, conducted by Sir Nicholas Stern, Head of the UK Government Economic Service, and a former Chief Economist of the World Bank.

Ecological responses to recent climate change.

TL;DR: A review of the ecological impacts of recent climate change exposes a coherent pattern of ecological change across systems, from polar terrestrial to tropical marine environments.

Climate change 2007 : impacts, adaptation and vulnerability

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a cross-chapter case study on climate change and sustainability in natural and managed systems and assess key vulnerabilities and the risk from climate change, and assess adaptation practices, options, constraints and capacity.
