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.

Interactive Effects of Drought and Saline Aerosol Stress on Morphological and Physiological Characteristics of Two Ornamental Shrub Species

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of drought and aerosol stresses were studied in a factorial experiment based on a Randomized Complete Design with triplicates on two ornamental shrubs: Callistemon citrinus (Curtis) Skeels and Viburnum tinus L. ‘Lucidum.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physiological status of conifer seedlings treated with radiation, drought and frost stress mitigation techniques: a laboratory assessment

TL;DR: The results indicate that the effects of the different techniques depend on the susceptibility of the species to environmental stress, and Kaolin treatment increased stomatal conductance, photosynthesis and transpiration rates in all species.

Exploring the Thermal Microcosms at the Forest Floor—A Case Study of a Temperate Forest

Denise Boehnke
- 16 Apr 2021 - 
TL;DR: In this article, thermal aspects within a heterogeneous forest were recorded at nine sites and compared to data from a nearby weather station, finding that soil (−5 cm) and near-surface (0-2 cm) temperatures under shaded conditions stayed remarkably cooler than temporarily or fully radiated spots inside and outside the forest; largest differences occurred in maxima (July: 22.5 °C to 53.5°C).

The influence of growth conditions on physico-mechanical properties of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) wood in Estonia

Regino Kask
TL;DR: In this article, the authors exposed the constitutive terpene emitter, Solanum. lycopersicum leaves to mild (37 and 41 C), moderate (46 C) and severe (49 C) heat ramps of 5 min and monitored foliage photosynthetic activity, lipoxygenase pathway volatile (LOX), and monoand sesquiterpene emissions and expression of two terpane synthase genes, b-phellandrene synthase and (E)-b-caryophyllene/a-humulene synthase,
Journal ArticleDOI

Warming may extend tree growing seasons and compensate for reduced carbon uptake during dry periods

TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the effects of rain and dryness on tree phenology, particularly leaf senescence, and source and sink activity in two tree species with distinct strategies to deal with drought.

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.
