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.

Non-structural carbohydrates and sugar export in grapevine leaves exposed to different light regimes

TL;DR: Examining the relationships between photosynthesis, carbohydrate metabolism and the expression of related-genes in leaves of grapevine grown under different radiation regimes allows us to understand the physiological and molecular behavior of leaves exposed to different Radiation regimes, which can be used to design appropriate vineyard management practices.

Past-century decline in forest regeneration potential across a latitudinal and elevational gradient in Canada

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a process-based ecophysiological model to examine changes in forest regeneration conditions across an elevational and latitudinal gradient in Alberta, Canada from 1923 to 2012.

The contrasting effects of short-term climate change on the early recruitment of tree species.

TL;DR: The authors' simulations illustrate that warmer temperatures may increase seed production, but they will have a negative effect on establishment and survival, and it is shown that increasing temperatures at the southern location will have stronger detrimental effects on recruitment than similar changes at the northern locations.

Spatio-temporal water uptake patterns of tree saplings are not altered by interspecific interaction in the early stage of a subtropical forest

TL;DR: According to the results, soil water uptake complementarity could only occur through inherent (fundamental) specific differences in water uptake niches based on sapling specialization, while phenotypic adjustments to interspecific interaction or neighbor diversity are less important.

A lifetime perspective of biomass allocation in Quercus pubescens trees in a dry, alpine valley

TL;DR: It is concluded that trees beyond seedling stage show different responses to variation in drought than the better-studied seedlings, suggesting more restricted plasticity in biomass allocation in these mature trees than in seedlings.

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.
