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.

Selection of tree species for forests under climate change: is PSI functioning a better predictor for net photosynthesis and growth than PSII?

TL;DR: The results of PF indicate a stable functionality of the photosynthetic system PSII across species and provenances and a decline in photochemistry functionality at the I-P phase (ΔVIP) in Q. frainetto, indicating thus a decline of the content of PSI in this species.

Effects of climate change on threatened Spanish medicinal and aromatic species: predicting future trends and defining conservation guidelines

TL;DR: This paper used ecological niche modeling to predict future changes in the distribution of 41 medicinal plants included in the 2013 assessment of threatened species in Spain, and generated climate-based niche models for each medicinal species and projected them for each decade from 2010 until 2080.

How treatment, storm events and changed climate affect productivity of temperate forests in SW Germany

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of heavy storm events, changed climate and treatment on the productivity of temperate forests was investigated for three representative stands in Southwest Germany, and the simulation experiment was conducted on a Norway spruce, a mixed and a Douglas-fir stand.

Importance of considering the growth response after partial harvesting and economic risk of discounted net revenues when optimizing uneven-aged forest management

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a model that allows partial harvesting of uncertainties in a tree-based optimization model, which allows partial harvest in the context of a single-tree optimization model.

Forest Ecosystem Services and Biodiversity

TL;DR: In this paper, the consequences of biomass shot on woody species richness and composition were analyzed in forests underneath communal and government management, showing that diversity contributes to forest ecosystem functioning and also the provision of ecosystem services.
