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:

Interactive effects of defoliation and water deficit on growth, water status, and mortality of black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.)
TL;DR: Defoliation followed by water deficit showed time-dependent effects on plant water status and growth in black spruce (Picea mariana) saplings and Mortality in defoliated saplings was reduced immediately following drought because available internal water increased in the stem.

The competitive status of trees determines their responsiveness to increasing atmospheric humidity – a climate trend predicted for northern latitudes
TL;DR: The results suggest that air humidity affects trees indirectly depending on their social status, and the response of northern temperate and boreal forests to a more humid climate in future will likely be modified by competitive relationships among trees, which may potentially affect species composition and cause a need to change forestry practices.

Response of Fagus sylvatica and Picea abies to the interactive effect of neighbor identity and enhanced CO2 levels
TL;DR: Assessment of nutritional and morphological adjustments of individuals of European beech and Norway spruce growing at enhanced levels of CO2 and with different proportions of con-specific individuals in its vicinity suggests that the introduction of Europe beech into NorwaySpruce stands could be a feasible option in current forest transition strategies.

Development rates and persistence of the microhabitats initiated by disease and injuries in live trees: A review
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed published rates of development of five common tree microhabitats and the factors affecting those rates in living trees and found that large side cavities are formed in the oldest trees, seldom hosting large vertebrates in trees.

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.
