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.

Water-deficit and fungal infection can differentially affect the production of different classes of defense compounds in two host pines of mountain pine beetle.

Nadir Erbilgin, +8 more
- 01 Mar 2017 - 
TL;DR: It is concluded that monoterpenes seem to be a critical component of induced defenses against G. clavigera in both jack and lodgepole pines; however, a lack of increased monoterpene response to fungal infection is an important evolutionary factor defining jack pine suitability to the mountain pine beetle invasion in western Canada.

Environmental heterogeneity and neighbourhood interference modulate the individual response of Juniperus thurifera tree-ring growth to climate

Vicente Rozas, +1 more
- 01 Jan 2013 - 
TL;DR: By considering environmental heterogeneity and neighbourhood interference the authors can identify the spectrum of site-dependent climatic responses in a population, which in turn will enable more realistic predictions of tree responses to ongoing climate change.

Individual-based approach as a useful tool to disentangle the relative importance of tree age, size and inter-tree competition in dendroclimatic studies

Vicente Rozas
- 01 Apr 2015 - 
TL;DR: It is suggested that inter-tree competition is a relevant size-mediated extrinsic factor that can potentially modulate individual radial growth variation and its response to limiting climatic conditions in temperate deciduous forests.

Generality of relationships between leaf pigment contents and spectral vegetation indices in Mallorca (Spain)

Lea Hallik, +7 more

TL;DR: It is suggested that the nature and role of “far-red” chlorophylls which absorb light at longer wavelengths than 700 nm constitute a promising target for future remote sensing studies.

Response of palila and other subalpine Hawaiian forest bird species to prolonged drought and habitat degradation by feral ungulates

Paul C. Banko, +5 more
- 01 Jan 2013 - 
TL;DR: The results illustrate how the feeding ecology of a species can influence its response to interacting environmental perturbations, and they underscore the value of long-term monitoring to detect population trends of sensitive species.

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.
