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:

TL;DR: It is suggested that past climate extremes led to significant mortality still visible in the current forest structure, with decadal dynamics superimposed on slower patterns of fire and succession.

Predicting autumn phenology: How deciduous tree species respond to weather stressors
TL;DR: This study improves the understanding of how species-specific autumnal phenology responds to weather stresses, and describes a new modeling framework to investigate both inter-annual phenological changes and local variations among trees, species, and sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Short- and long-term efficacy of forest thinning to mitigate drought impacts in mountain forests in the European Alps.
TL;DR: It is concluded that thinning is a viable option for temporarily reducing the negative drought impacts on forests, but that efficient implementation of thinning should be contingent on a site-specific evaluation of the near term risk of significant drought, and how thinning will impact the rate and direction of climate driven forest conversion.

Tree Size- and Age-Related Changes in Leaf Physiology and Their Influence on Carbon Gain
TL;DR: More integrated studies that consider the simultaneous roles of leaf structure, chemistry and stomatal and mesophyll factors are needed to disentangle and assign importance to the various factors responsible for decreases in carbon gain with tree age and size.

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.
