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.

Drought effects of annual and long-term temperature and precipitation on mortality risk for 9 common European tree species

TL;DR: The authors quantified the association of annual and long-term 30-year average temperature and precipitation effects on individual tree death across Europe from 2011 to 2020 for European beech, sessile and pedunculate oak, silver birch, black pine, Austrian oak, Scots pine, European hornbeam, and Norway spruce.

Health and Growth of Black Pine outside Its Natural Distribution Range in the Romanian Carpathians

TL;DR: In this paper , the relationship between tree growth and defoliation as an indicator of tree health was studied in coniferous stands outside their natural range in Romania and the results revealed an increase in the percentage of tree defoliations from 17% to 38% during the studied decade, along with 13.5% tree mortality.

Projecting U.S. forest management, market, and carbon sequestration responses to a high-impact climate scenario

TL;DR: In this article , the authors used an empirical forest composition model to estimate the impact of climate factors (temperature and precipitation) and other environmental parameters on forest productivity for 94 forest species across the conterminous United States.

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.
