TLDR
In this article, a review of tree physiological responses to key environmental stress factors and their combinations are analyzed from seedlings to mature trees, concluding that combined stresses can influence survival of large trees even more than chronic exposure to a single predictable stress such as drought.

Impacts of a spring heat wave on canopy processes in a northern hardwood forest.

TL;DR: It is indicated that even short-term heat waves can have severe impacts in northern forests, and suggest a particular vulnerability to high temperatures during the spring period of leaf expansion in temperate deciduous forests.

How specialized volatiles respond to chronic and short-term physiological and shock heat stress in Brassica nigra.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that glucosinolate volatiles constitute a major part of emission blend in heat-stressed B. nigra plants, especially upon chronic stress that leads to induction responses.
