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

Can the Global Forest Sector Survive 11°C Warming?
TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered possible climate change impacts out to 2250 and warming up to 11°C above 1900 levels and found that large productivity gains through 2190 lead to a continued expansion of the global timber supply.

Nitrogen deposition and climate change effects on tree species composition and ecosystem services for a forest cohort.
George Van Houtven,Jennifer Phelan,Christopher M. Clark,Robert D. Sabo,John Buckley,R. Quinn Thomas,Kevin J. Horn,Stephen D. LeDuc +7 more
TL;DR: The effects of two environmental drivers, nitrogen (N) deposition and climate change, are isolated through an analysis of a single cohort of 24 dominant tree species, which provides a foundation for future studies that may incorporate other important factors such as multiple cohorts, sulfur deposition, insects, and diseases.

Xylem Phenology and Growth Response of European Beech, Silver Fir and Scots Pine along an Elevational Gradient during the Extreme Drought Year 2018
TL;DR: Evidence is found, that productivity might be severely affected at lower elevations, whereas at high elevations wood production might not equally benefit during global warming.

Silver-fir (Abies alba MILL.) neighbors improve water relations of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), but do not affect N nutrition.
Ruth-Kristina Magh,Michel Grün,Viola Elisa Knothe,Tobias Stubenazy,Javier Tejedor,Michael Dannenmann,Heinz Rennenberg,Heinz Rennenberg +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, water relations in the leaves of beech trees on sandstone-derived soil are supported by the presence of white fir neighbors, and the authors tested if water relations and N nutrition of shallow rooting and hence, drought sensitive beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) could benefit from deep rooting and, hence, less drought sensitive silver-fir (Abies alba MILL.).
Journal ArticleDOI
Private forest owners facing climate change in Wallonia: Adaptive capacity and practices
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the results of a survey conducted in Wallonia (Belgium) among private forest owners (PFO) and an array of organizations, both public and private, that influence these owners' actions.

Very high resolution interpolated climate surfaces for global land areas.
Robert J. Hijmans,Susan E. Cameron,Susan E. Cameron,Juan L. Parra,Peter G. Jones,Andy Jarvis +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed interpolated climate surfaces for global land areas (excluding Antarctica) at a spatial resolution of 30 arc s (often referred to as 1-km spatial resolution).
Book
Climate Change 2001: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors set the stage for impact, adaptation, and vulnerability assessment of climate change in the context of sustainable development and equity, and developed and applied scenarios in Climate Change Impact, Adaptation, and Vulnerability Assessment.
Book
The Economics of Climate Change: The Stern Review
TL;DR: The Stern Review as discussed by the authors is an independent, rigourous and comprehensive analysis of the economic aspects of this crucial issue, conducted by Sir Nicholas Stern, Head of the UK Government Economic Service, and a former Chief Economist of the World Bank.

Ecological responses to recent climate change.
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.
