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.

Plot-scale modelling to detect size, extent, and correlates of changes in tree defoliation in French high forests

Marco Ferretti, +10 more
- 01 Jan 2014 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used Partial Least Square (PLS) regression to model defoliation on 87 plots where sufficient data was available for a standard set of predictors, including meteorology, nutrition, phenology, reported health problems, management regime and assessment methodology.

Review of broad-scale drought monitoring of forests: Toward an integrated data mining approach

Steven P. Norman, +2 more
- 15 Nov 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a big-data approach that integrates meteorological and remotely sensed data streams, together with other datasets such as vegetation type, wildfire occurrence and pest activity, can clarify direct drought effects while filtering indirect drought effects and consequences.

Variation in Ecophysiological Traits and Drought Tolerance of Beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) Seedlings from Different Populations.

Claudia Cocozza, +10 more
- 22 Jun 2016 - 
TL;DR: A combined analysis of functional and structural traits for detecting stress signals in beech seedlings is suggested to assess plant performance under limiting moisture conditions and, consequently, to estimate evolutionary potential of beech under a changing environmental scenario.

Complex facilitation and competition in a temperate grassland: loss of plant diversity and elevated CO2 have divergent and opposite effects on oak establishment.

Alexandra J. Wright, +7 more
- 01 Jan 2013 - 
TL;DR: The magnitude of the effects indicates that long-term woody encroachment trends may be most strongly associated with those few individuals that survive, but grow much larger in lower diversity patches, as well as the mechanisms that underlie both patterns are very similar.

Drought increases heat tolerance of leaf respiration in Eucalyptus globulus saplings grown under both ambient and elevated atmospheric [CO2] and temperature

Paul P. G. Gauthier, +9 more
- 01 Dec 2014 - 
TL;DR: This study highlights the dynamic nature of the temperature dependence of leaf respiration in plants experiencing future climate change scenarios, particularly with respect to drought and elevated [CO2].

Climate change 2007: the physical science basis

Susan Solomon, +7 more
TL;DR: The first volume of the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report as mentioned in this paper was published in 2007 and covers several topics including the extensive range of observations now available for the atmosphere and surface, changes in sea level, assesses the paleoclimatic perspective, climate change causes both natural and anthropogenic, and climate models for projections of global climate.

A global overview of drought and heat-induced tree mortality reveals emerging climate change risks for forests

Craig D. Allen, +19 more
- 05 Feb 2010 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the first global assessment of recent tree mortality attributed to drought and heat stress and identify key information gaps and scientific uncertainties that currently hinder our ability to predict tree mortality in response to climate change and emphasizes the need for a globally coordinated observation system.
