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.

Chapter 12 - Long-term climate change: Projections, commitments and irreversibility

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

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.

The roles of hydraulic and carbon stress in a widespread climate-induced forest die-off

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.

Drought-tolerance of wheat improved by rhizosphere bacteria from harsh environments: enhanced biomass production and reduced emissions of stress volatiles.

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.

Increased Terpenoid Accumulation in Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) Foliage is a General Wound Response

TL;DR: The induction of terpenoids in cotton foliage appears to represent a non-specific wound response mediated by jasmonic acid, with E-β-ocimene and heliocide H1 and H4 showing the highest increases, up to 15-fold.

Defence reactions of Norway spruce against bark beetles and the associated fungus Ceratocystis polonica in secondary pure and mixed species stands

TL;DR: The hypothesis that there is an inverse relationship between growth and defence is supported, with trees from the mixed species stand showing higher primary resin flow, lower lesion length and lower induced resin flow compared with Trees from unthinned/thinned pure spruce stands.

Insects take a bigger bite out of plants in a warmer, higher carbon dioxide world.

TL;DR: The amount and diversity of insect damage to plants increased in association with an abrupt rise in atmospheric CO2 and global temperature that occurred >55 million years ago, and these findings suggest that increased insect herbivory will be one more unpleasant surprise arising from anthropogenic climate change.

Physiology, morphology, and ozone uptake of leaves of black cherry seedlings, saplings, and canopy trees

TL;DR: Seedlings had a lower relative exposure over the course of the growing season, and subsequently lower cumulative uptake, of ozone than canopy trees and a level of uptake similar to upper canopy leaves of saplings, and lower net carbon uptake of lower crown leaves may limit repair and anti-oxidant defense processes.
