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.

Gas exchange and JIP-test parameters of two Mediterranean maquis species are affected by sea spray and ozone interaction.

TL;DR: In this article, the interaction of ozone and sea spray is additive as a consequence of a higher reactive oxigen species accumulation, and the response of the species was evaluated by measurements of structural parameters (shoot growth and leaf biomass) and physiological parameters (leaf level gas exchange and chlorophyll a fluorescence).

Changes of secondary metabolites in Pinus sylvestris L. needles under increasing soil water deficit

TL;DR: In this article, the authors detected changes in primary and secondary metabolism of Pinus sylvestris L. in response to a decrease in soil water availability by analyzing needle water potential, photosynthetic characteristics, and concentrations of proline, terpenoids, shikimic acid, total polyphenols, and abscisic acid (ABA) in P. syllvestris through a 55-day soil water deficit period.

Repeated summer drought and re-watering during the first growing year of oak (Quercus petraea) delay autumn senescence and bud burst in the following spring

TL;DR: Survival was independent of the provenance, although relatively more plants had died off in two provenances compared to the third one, which can be interpreted as an adaptation to variable and unpredictable weather conditions, favoring smaller plants in drought-prone summers and higher plants in more normal growing seasons.

Forest Ecosystem Services Under Climate Change and Air Pollution

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of climate change and air pollution on forest ecosystem services (ES) based on selected tree physiological functions is discussed. But, the authors focus on forest ecosystems and do not consider the impact of air pollution and climate change on them.

Climate change 2007: the physical science basis

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.
