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.

Verification of our empirical understanding of the physiology and ecology of two contrasting plantation species using a trait database.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of climate change on forest ecosystems take on increasing importance more than ever, and information on plant traits is a powerful predictor of ecosystem dynamics and functioning, such as foliar gas exchange and nutrients, xylem morphology and drought tolerance.
