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:

The relationship between tree size and tree water-use: is competition for water size-symmetric or size-asymmetric?
TL;DR: In this article , the authors examined the relationship between tree size and water use and found that the relationship is not symmetric, i.e., exponents (b1) of power functions (water use ∆ ∆) equal to 1, with all sizes using the same amount of water proportionally to their size.

Water and light stresses drive acclimation during the establishment of a timber tree under different intensities of rainforest canopy coverage
Ana Paula Moretti,Ana Paula Moretti,Flavia Yesica Olguín,Flavia Yesica Olguín,Martin Alcides Pinazo,Corina Graciano,Corina Graciano +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a mid-succession subtropical tree (Cabralea canjerana) to describe the morphological and physiological changes in plant acclimation to full sun and under a closed canopy, and evaluated the establishment of this species under different intensity of canopy coverage in the rainforest.

Tracing drought effects from the tree to the stand growth in temperate and Mediterranean forests: insights and consequences for forest ecology and management
Hans Pretzsch,Miren del Río,Rüdiger Grote,Hans-Joachim Klemmt,Cristóbal Ordóñez,F. Bravo Oviedo +5 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors trace the effects of drought on tree and stand growth from tree to the stand scale and reveal that the overall stress response at the stand level results from species-specific and size-dependent individual tree growth and mortality.

Growth variability and contrasting climatic responses of two Quercus macrolepis stands from Southern Albania
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the impact of climate variability (temperature and precipitation) and drought stress (standardized precipitation index, SPI) on vegetation activity (normalized difference vegetation index, NDVI) and tree radial growth (earlywood width, EW; late wood width, LW; and tree-ring width, TRW) of two Quercus macrolepis stands in Southern Albania with different topographic site conditions.

Leaf Age Matters in Remote Sensing: Taking Ground Truth for Spectroscopic Studies in Hemiboreal Deciduous Trees with Continuous Leaf Formation
TL;DR: In this paper, the seasonal changes in biophysical, anatomical, and optical traits of young leaves, formed throughout the vegetative season due to sylleptic growth, and mature leaves formed by proleptic growing in spring were examined.

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.
