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:

Chapter 12 - Long-term climate change: Projections, commitments and irreversibility
Matthew Collins,R. Knutti,Julie M. Arblaster,J.-L. Dufresne,T. Fichefet,P. Friedlingstein,Xuejie Gao,William J. Gutowski,T. Johns,Gerhard Krinner,Mxolisi Shongwe,C. Tebaldi,A.J. Weaver,M. F. Wehner +13 more
TL;DR: The authors assesses long-term projections of climate change for the end of the 21st century and beyond, where the forced signal depends on the scenario and is typically larger than the internal variability of the climate system.

The interaction of plant biotic and abiotic stresses: from genes to the field
Nicky J. Atkinson,Peter E. Urwin +1 more
TL;DR: This review aims to characterize the interaction between biotic and abiotic stress responses at a molecular level, focusing on regulatory mechanisms important to both pathways.

TL;DR: Responding to climate change will likely require that the quantitative traits of populations again match their environments, and it is found that genetic differentiation between populations and clinal variation along environmental gradients were very common.

The roles of hydraulic and carbon stress in a widespread climate-induced forest die-off
William R. L. Anderegg,Joseph A. Berry,Duncan D. Smith,John S. Sperry,Leander D. L. Anderegg,Christopher B. Field +5 more
TL;DR: A direct and in situ study of the mechanisms underlying recent widespread and climate-induced trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides) forest mortality in western North America and finds substantial evidence of hydraulic failure of roots and branches linked to landscape patterns of canopy and root mortality in this species.

TL;DR: In this paper, a feasible alternative strategy by application of rhizospheric bacteria coevolved with plant roots in harsh environments over millions of years, and harboring adaptive traits improving plant fitness under biotic and abiotic stresses.

Effects of extreme high temperature, drought and elevated CO2 on photosynthesis of the Mojave Desert evergreen shrub, Larrea tridentata
TL;DR: It is suggested that elevated CO2 could promote photosynthetic activity during critical periods of seedling establishment, and enhance the potential for L. tridentata to survive extreme high temperature events.

Chlorophyll a Fluorescence and Photosynthetic and Growth Responses of Pinus radiata to Phosphorus Deficiency, Drought Stress, and High CO2
TL;DR: Results indicate that electron flow subsequent to photosystem II was affected by drought stress and showed that CO(2) enrichment improved the ability of the seedlings to acclimate to drought stress.

Hunting for Plant Nitric Oxide Synthase Provides New Evidence of a Central Role for Plastids in Nitric Oxide Metabolism
TL;DR: Strong evidence is now available that this protein functions as a GTPase that is actually targeted to plastids, where it might be required for ribosome function, and support the argument that the defective NO production in loss-of-function mutants is an indirect effect of interfering with normal plastid functions.

Growth in elevated CO2 protects photosynthesis against high-temperature damage
TL;DR: Evidence is presented that plant growth at elevated atmospheric CO 2 increases the high-temperature tolerance of photosynthesis in a wide variety of plant species under both greenhouse and field conditions, which may have a substantial impact on both the productivity and distribution of many plant species in the 21st century.

Distribution patterns of foliar carbon and nitrogen as affected by tree dimensions and relative light conditions in the canopy of Picea abies
TL;DR: In this paper, a vertical gradient of relative irradiance (RI) was studied in trees of Picea abies along with changes in needle and shoot structure, and the ratio of shoot silhouette area to total needle area, which characterises the packing of needles and needle area within the shoot was greater at lower values of irradiance.
