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.

Lack of direct evidence for the carbon-starvation hypothesis to explain drought-induced mortality in trees.

TL;DR: The carbon-starvation hypothesis predicts an eventual depletion of tree carbon stores as a result of stomatal closure and insufficient carbon assimilation to meet carbon demands for tissue maintenance, and Adams et al. (2) show that drought-stressed trees are more likely to suffer from carbonstarvation.

Volatile Emissions from an Odorous Plant in Response to Herbivory and Methyl Jasmonate Exposure

TL;DR: This work examined the effect of herbivory and methyl jasmonate exposure on the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the marsh elder, Iva frutescens, which contains numerous constitutive VOCs, mainly mono- and sesquiterpenes.

Evolution of concepts in forest pathology.

Paul D. Manion
- 01 Aug 2003 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the sustainable environmental issues of today have changed this concept, in my mind, to one of addressing what is the appropriate "healthy amount of disease" in a sustainable forest ecosystem.

Response of foliar metabolism in mature trees of Quercus pubescens and Quercus ilex to long-term elevated CO2

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared two indigenous Quercus species, Q. ilex and Q. pubescens, growing in a natural CO2 spring located in central Italy and at a nearby control site.

A whole‐tree chamber system for examining tree‐level physiological responses of field‐grown trees to environmental variation and climate change

TL;DR: A whole-tree chamber system was installed at Flakaliden in northern Sweden to examine the long-term physiological responses of field-grown 40-year-old Norway spruce trees to climate change, and the ability of the WTC system to measure tree-level physiological responses is demonstrated.
