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

Species-specific weather response in the daily stem variation cycles of Mediterranean pine-oak mixed stands
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied species differences in stem daily radial variation cycles and daily radial increment of Mediterranean pine-oak mixed stands over three climatically contrasted years (2012-2014) at two sites with dissimilar drought conditions.

TL;DR: It is found that Acer platanoides seeds were more influenced by the climatic conditions than those of A. pseudoplatanus and further research on subsequent life-history stages of both species is needed, highlighting the importance of studying the possible impact of climate change on seed production and species demography.

Alpine Forest Drought Monitoring in South Tyrol: PCA Based Synergy between scPDSI Data and MODIS Derived NDVI and NDII7 Time Series
TL;DR: Analysis of medium resolution MODSI NDVI and NDII7 time series as well as on-station temperature and precipitation measures combined in the scPDSI (self-calibrated Palmer Drought Severity Index) datasets suggested great potential for drought oriented environmental analyses.
