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.About:

Broadband, red-edge information from satellites improves early stress detection in a New Mexico conifer woodland
Jan U. H. Eitel,Lee A. Vierling,Marcy E. Litvak,Dan S. Long,Urs Schulthess,Alan A. Ager,Dan J. Krofcheck,Leo Stoscheck +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed a temporally dense time series of 22 RapidEye scenes of a pinon-juniper woodland in central New Mexico acquired before and after stress was induced by girdling.

Functional traits and adaptive capacity of European forests to climate change
TL;DR: Current modeled simulation of future forest distribution suggests the expansion of forests at the highest latitudes and altitudes, alongside with a reduction in the hottest and driest Mediterranean regions of South Europe.

Deciduous forest responses to temperature, precipitation, and drought imply complex climate change impacts.
TL;DR: It is found that cold, frost, wet, and high heat-stress lead to earlier dormancy dates across temperate deciduous forest communities, whereas moderate heat- and drought-stress delayed dormancy in Deciduous forests in two eco-regions showed contrasting, nonlinear responses to variation in these explanatory factors.

Spatio-temporal effects of forest canopy on understory microclimate in a long-term experiment in Switzerland
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the moderating effect of the canopy on the below-canopy microclimate of 14 different forest ecosystems in Switzerland and concluded that natural recruitment in pine forests and high-altitude forests may respond most sensitively to climate change.

Potential use of the DREB/ERF, MYB, NAC and WRKY transcription factors to improve abiotic and biotic stress in transgenic plants
TL;DR: This review describes the DREB/ERF, MYB, NAC and WRKY TF and summarizes the studies that highlight their potential in engineering abiotic and biotic stress tolerance in transgenic plants.

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.

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.
