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.

Hemiboreal forests’ CO2 fluxes response to the European 2018 heatwave

TL;DR: In this paper , the influence of elevated temperatures on the carbon exchange of three forest stands of different types (coniferous, deciduous, and conifer-broadleaved) and a clearcut area located in the geographical vicinity within a hemiboreal zone was assessed.

Thermal sensitivity across forest vertical profiles: patterns, mechanisms, and ecological implications.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors evaluate how microclimate and leaf temperatures, traits, and gas exchange vary vertically in forests, shaping tree and ecosystem ecology, and integrate the patterns and mechanisms reviewed here into models.

Stomatal and mesophyll conductance are dominant limitations to photosynthesis in response to heat stress during severe drought in a temperate and a tropical tree species

TL;DR: The results suggest the importance of balancing water conservation and transpirational cooling in the diffusive pathway in response to, not only drought, but also the combination of water and heat stress in forest trees.

Sex-related differences of two ecologically divergent Salix species in the responses of enzyme activities to atmospheric CO2 enrichment

TL;DR: It is detected that females invested more in PPO-based defence than did males, whose PPO activity decreased as a result of CO2 enrichment, and it was found that the inherently slow-growing Salix repens had markedly higher POD activity than did the more rapid-growing S. phylicifolia.

Joint control of plant ecological strategy by climate, regeneration mode, and ontogeny in Northeastern Chinese forests.

TL;DR: In this article, a small increase in mean annual temperature led to shifts in CSR strategy components for herbaceous species, without altering the vegetation type or community composition, but nearly negligible as compared to the effect of regeneration type for trees and of ontogeny for woody species.

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.

Chlorophyll fluorescence—a practical guide

TL;DR: An introduction for the novice into the methodology and applications of chlorophyll fluorescence is provided and a selection of examples are used to illustrate the types of information that fluorescence can provide.
