TLDR
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.read more

Climatic turning point for beech and oak under climate change in Central Europe
Tobias Mette,Klara Dolos,Klara Dolos,Cathrin Meinardus,Achim Bräuning,Björn Reineking,Markus Blaschke,Hans Pretzsch,Carl Beierkuhnlein,Andreas Gohlke,Camilla Wellstein,Camilla Wellstein +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a common type of temperate mixed forest in Central Europe with European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and sessile oak (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.) to explore the CTP under a future climate projection of increasing temperature and aridity.

One Century of Forest Monitoring Data in Switzerland Reveals Species- and Site-Specific Trends of Climate-Induced Tree Mortality.
Sophia Etzold,Kasia Ziemińska,Brigitte Rohner,Alessandra Bottero,Arun K. Bose,Nadine K. Ruehr,Andreas Zingg,Andreas Rigling,Andreas Rigling +8 more
TL;DR: Recent climatic changes had highly variable effects on tree mortality rates, depending on the species in combination with abiotic and biotic stand and site conditions, which suggests that forest species composition and species ranges may change under future climate conditions.

Invasive alien pests threaten the carbon stored in Europe's forests.
Rupert Seidl,Günther Klonner,Werner Rammer,Franz Essl,Adam Moreno,Adam Moreno,Mathias Neumann,Stefan Dullinger +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that large parts of Europe could be invaded by five detrimental alien pests already under current climate, and that their impact on the carbon cycle could be as severe as the current natural disturbance regime in Europe's forests.

Responses of sapwood ray parenchyma and non‐structural carbohydrates of Pinus sylvestris to drought and long‐term irrigation
Georg von Arx,Alberto Arzac,Alberto Arzac,Patrick Fonti,David Frank,David Frank,Roman Zweifel,Andreas Rigling,Lucía Galiano,Arthur Gessler,José Miguel Olano +10 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that stem ray parenchyma does not limit NSC storage capacity, but responds to long-term environmental drivers with years of delay, and carbon allocation patterns indicate a prioritization of storage over growth independent of growth conditions.

Past and future evolution of Abies alba forests in Europe - comparison of a dynamic vegetation model with palaeo data and observations
Melanie Ruosch,Melanie Ruosch,Renato Spahni,Renato Spahni,Fortunat Joos,Fortunat Joos,Paul D. Henne,Paul D. Henne,Willem Oscar van der Knaap,Willem Oscar van der Knaap,Willy Tinner,Willy Tinner +11 more
TL;DR: The combined palaeoecological and model evidence suggest that A. alba may ensure important ecosystem services including stand and slope stability, infrastructure protection, and carbon sequestration under significantly warmer-than-present conditions in central Europe.

Gian-Reto Walther,Eric Post,Peter Convey,Annette Menzel,Camille Parmesan,Trevor J. C. Beebee,Jean-Marc Fromentin,Ove Hoegh-Guldberg,Franz Bairlein +8 more
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.
Book
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.
