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

Impacts of soil conditions and light availability on natural regeneration of Norway spruce Picea abies (L.) H. Karst. in low-elevation mountain forests

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of environmental factors on the natural regeneration of Picea abies in low-elevation mountain forests was investigated. And the results showed that the regeneration rate depends on light availability and soil pH and there are understory plant species which may indicate the microsites suitable for natural regeneration.

Comparative transcriptomics-based selection of suitable reference genes for normalization of RT-qPCR experiments in drought-stressed leaves of three European Quercus species
TL;DR: Reference genes for normalization of reverse transcription quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) experiments were selected and evaluated for drought-stressed leaves of three European Quercus species and demonstrated that, in each species, at least four of the novel reference genes are more stably expressed than the classical reference genes and that tworeference genes are the optimal number for each species.

TL;DR: The frequent divergent responses of seedlings along the latitudinal gradient suggest that climate change will likely have heterogeneous impacts across Europe, with stronger impacts in the northern and southern parts of the species’ distribution ranges.
