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.

Understanding the link between photosynthesis, growth and emissions of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) in beech, oak and ash

Maja Simpraga
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focused on the exchange of CO2 and BVOCs, since net photosynthesis (Pn) and bVOC emission are two plant processes important in plant functioning.

Projecting Forest Dynamics Across Europe: Potentials and Pitfalls of Empirical Mortality Algorithms

TL;DR: In this article, a systematic comparison of eight MAs (seven inventory-based, one theoretical) for the pan-European tree species Pinus sylvestris L. was carried out within the DVM ForClim for present and future climate scenarios at three contrasting sites across Europe.

The paradox of defoliation: Declining tree water status with increasing soil water content

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of defoliation and vapor pressure deficit (VPD) on plant and soil water status in balsam fir and black spruce defoliated by spruce budworm, Choristoneura fumiferana (Clemens).

Emission of volatile organic compounds as a signal of plant stress

TL;DR: The rate of plant volatile release can depend on environmental drivers including temperature (Guenther et al., 1993; Bertin et al, 1997; Staudt and Bertin, 1998; Niinemets et al. as discussed by the authors, 2010b; Niemenets et.

Revisiting the concept of stress in forest trees at the time of global change and issues for stress monitoring

TL;DR: In this article, the authors define the concept of stress as the ability of a force applied to a material to induce a deformation (strain). Unlike materials, living organisms and biological systems react to stress with responses to prevent or repair the damage.
