Responses of forest trees to single and multiple environmental stresses from seedlings to mature plants: Past stress history, stress interactions, tolerance and acclimation
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:

Capturing ecological processes in dynamic forest models: why there is no silver bullet to cope with complexity
Journal ArticleDOI
Warming increases the sensitivity of seedling growth capacity to rainfall in six temperate deciduous tree species.
TL;DR: It is indicated that, in the northeastern USA, dry years in a future warmer environment could have damaging effects on the growth capacity of early secondary successional forests, through species-specific effects on leaf production, herbivory and mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combined MODIS land surface temperature and greenness data for modeling vegetation phenology, physiology, and gross primary production in terrestrial ecosystems.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that remote sensing-based phenological and physiological indicators could be used to explain the variations of seasonal and annual GPP, and provide an efficient way for improving GPP estimations at a global scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
Counting the costs of multiple stressors: is the whole greater than the sum of the parts?
TL;DR: Drought stress had most likely triggered a surge in the abundance of wood boring beetles, thereby amplifying declines in forest health during an already stressful event and representing complex interactions between abiotic and biotic factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonality and facilitation drive tree establishment in a semi-arid floodplain savanna
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that interactions between tree seedlings and perennial grasses vary seasonally, and timing of tree germination may determine the importance of facilitation or competition in structuring savanna vegetation because of fluctuations in abiotic stress.

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.
