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.

Natural regeneration of Sycamore maple in southern Sweden and Lithuania

TL;DR: Sycamore regeneration was more abundant in the sample plots closer to the source stand and had a tendency to be influenced by prevailing winds, and the most suitable conditions for naturally regenerated sycamore were in oak stands.

Climate envelope analyses suggests significant rearrangements in the distribution ranges of Central European tree species

TL;DR: In this paper , the potential climate envelopes of nine European tree species for a past period (1961-1990) and for three future periods (2011-2040, 2041-2070, 2071-2100) under two emission scenarios (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5) were estimated simultaneously using the random forest method.

Water Resource Availability Assessment Through Hydrological Simulation Under Climate Change in the Huangshui Watershed of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau

TL;DR: In this paper , to enhance the resolution of the predicted meteorological and hydrological parameters under climate change, the statistical downscaling method (SDSM), the generalized regression neural network (GRNN) model, the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), and the improved Tennant method were integrated into a framework.
