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.

Three years of increased nitrogen deposition do not affect the vegetation of a montane forest ecosystem

TL;DR: Schleppe et al. as mentioned in this paper showed that three years of increased nitrogen deposition do not affect the vegetation of a montane forest ecosystem, and that the nitrogen uptake itself was small: 12% of the nitrogen addition going into aboveground biomass, as shown by N labeling.

Ontogeny affects response of northern red oak seedlings to elevated CO2 and water stress: II. Recent photosynthate distribution and growth

TL;DR: Increased sink strength of LG seedlings under water-stressed conditions, together with decreased apparent shoot sink strength associated with growth in Elevated CO2 provide mechanisms for offsetting water stress effects by growth in elevated CO2.

Leaf level experiments to discriminate between eucalyptus species using high spectral resolution reflectance data: use of derivatives, ratios and vegetation indices

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the potential of imaging spectroscopy for the discrimination between eucalyptus species and found that significant differences at a number of wavelength positions were detected and the differences between species were more noticeable in the first derivative spectra when compared with the raw spectra, attributed to the ability of derivatives to remove the noise from raw reflectance spectra.

Energy requirement for foliage construction depends on tree size inyoung Picea abies trees

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of increasing tree size on foliage chemical composition and substrate requirement for foliage construction in terms of glucose [CC, g glucose (g dry mass) − 1] was investigated in the evergreen conifer Picea abies (L.) Karst.

Biomass allocation and growth rates in Pinus sylvestris are interactively modified by nitrogen and phosphorus availabilities and by tree size and age

TL;DR: In this article, the relative growth rate was more strongly associated with PW than with NW, and the net assimilation rate per leaf dry mass (NARM) scaled positively with PW but not with NW.
