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:

Domingues,Leandro Valle Ferreira,Andre L. Giles,Maurizio Mencuccini,Lina M. Mercado,R. C. Miatto,Alex A. R. Oliveira,Rafael S. Oliveira,Patrick Meir,Patrick Meir,Lucy Rowland +17 more
TL;DR: Small trees were significantly more responsive than large canopy trees to the drought treatment, suggesting greater phenotypic plasticity and resilience to prolonged drought, although differences among taxa were observed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inducing drought tolerance in wheat through combined use of l-tryptophan and Pseudomonas fluorescens.
TL;DR: A gigantic gap persists in addressing the issue due to the severe limitations in conventional and modern breeding techniques for the development of drought tolerant characters in plants (Niinemets, 2010; Timmusk et al., 2014).
Journal ArticleDOI
Production of glandular trichomes responds to water stress and temperature in silver birch (Betula pendula) leaves
TL;DR: This work studied how glandular trichome density and number in the leaves of two-year-old silver birch plantlets respond to single and combined treatments of elevated temperature (+1 °C) and three different levels of soil moisture (low, normal, and excess watering).

Population differentiation in a Mediterranean relict shrub: the potential role of local adaptation for coping with climate change.

TL;DR: The results suggest that dry-edge populations of this relict species are well adapted to drought, which could potentially mitigate the species’ extinction risk under drier scenarios.

Fine-scale variation in topography and seasonality determine radial growth of an endangered tree in Brazilian Atlantic forest
Vanessa Pontara,Marcelo Leandro Bueno,Leticia E. Garcia,Ary Teixeira de Oliveira-Filho,Toby Pennington,David F. R. P. Burslem,José P. Lemos-Filho +6 more
TL;DR: This paper used dendroecological methods to test the hypothesis that variation in topographic position is related to radial growth and phenology for individuals of the endangered tropical tree Dalbergia nigra under uniform conditions of climate and irradiance, and examined effects of seasonality on plant phenology and growth periodicity.

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.
