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.

Thermotolerance and heat stress responses of Douglas-fir and ponderosa pine seedling populations from contrasting climates.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantified leaf thermotolerance and whole-plant physiological responses to heat stress in first-year seedlings in two populations each of Pinus ponderosa P. and C. Lawson (PIPO) and Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco (PSME) from climates with contrasting precipitation and temperature regimes.

Variation in 13 leaf morphological and physiological traits within a silver birch (Betula pendula) stand and their relation to growth

TL;DR: There were differences between genotypes in all measured traits, but the genotypes occupied a continuous, narrow range of values for individual traits, which showed the complex regulation of growth under field conditions.
