Responses of forest trees to single and multiple environmental stresses from seedlings to mature plants: Past stress history, stress interactions, tolerance and acclimation
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:

Climate-driven adaptive responses to drought of dominant tree species from Patagonia
TL;DR: Results show species-specific responses to water stress and that adaptive variation at distinct provenances has a genetic basis that is maintained despite potential gene flow and are suggested for long-term management of vulnerable taxa to desiccation as the mesic N. dombeyi .

Waterlogging effects on growth and physiological characteristics of Azadirachta excelsa seedlings
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of waterlogging were examined on growth and physiological characteristics of Azadiractha excelsa, one of the famous indigenous tree species used for urban landscape.

How does neighbourhood tree species composition affect growth characteristics of oak saplings
TL;DR: The investigation of the impact of local neighbourhood tree species composition on various above- and belowground growth characteristics of four year old oak saplings in two sites with contrasting abiotic conditions suggests that admixing certain tree species can have considerable positive impact.
Clonal Propagation of Detarium microcarpum and Khaya senegalensis A Step toward Clonal Forestry in Burkina Faso
TL;DR: Developing efficient and simple clonal propagation methods for two indigenous species, Detarium microcarpum and Khaya senegalensis, and to compare the growth of sexual and asexual propagules are developed, revealing that root suckers and seedling sprouts had a closer morphological resemblance.

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.
