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

Differentiation of the Forest Structure as the Mitigation Action of Adverse Effects of Climate Change
Abstract: For several decades, the attention of societies has been focused on potential environmental changes due to climate change. Although climate change is not a new phenomenon, in the recent two decades, there has been a growing interest of scientists trying to determine scenarios of trends and their potential impact on forest ecosystems and forestry. Despite the uncertainties of climate change and the response of forest ecosystem to change, the forest management must deal with these uncertainties. There is no single prescription on how to manage forest resources under climate change in order to fulfill all demands from society. Various strategies in forest management are developed to counteract the adverse effects of climate change on forests and forestry. The future forest management should implement the following three main strategies: create forests which are resistant to change, promote their greater resilience to change, and enable forests to respond to change. It is expected that the more the structured forest, the higher the adaptive capacity is expected. Experiment focused on the influence of different silvicultural procedures on the structure of Scots pine in Poland is presented. Achieved results indicated that the process of stand structure conversion is a long-term process and different structural elements can be modified to different extents.

Geospatial information for assessment of climate change impact on forest phenology
TL;DR: In this article, the authors applied fusion technique to multitemporal satellite imagery data (Landsat TM/ETM/OLI, Sentinel 2 and MODIS Terra/Aqua satellite data) for a mountain forest ecosystem placed in Prahova Valley, South Carpathians in Romania over 2000-2018 period.

Properties of secondary xylem of mature oaks in southwest Germany formed after extreme drought stress in summer 2018
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of extreme summer drought and heatwave 2018 in Central Europe on wood properties of oaks at four sandy valley river sites (Quercus robur L.) and one south-exposed schist slope (Qu. petraea (Matt.) Liebl.) in the middle Rhine and lower Main valley were studied and compared to well-watered trees from a riparian stand.
