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

Matthew Collins, +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, +1 more
- 01 Jun 2012 - 
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.

Potential for evolutionary responses to climate change – evidence from tree populations

Florian Alberto, +13 more
- 01 Jun 2013 - 
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, +5 more
- 03 Jan 2012 - 
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.

Salme Timmusk, +10 more
- 08 May 2014 - 
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.

Detection of stress in coniferous forest trees with the VIRAF spectrometer

Claus Buschmann, +2 more

TL;DR: The Visible Infrared Reflectance Absorbance Fluorescence (VIRAF) spectrometer was applied in outdoor measurements to compare the needles of two spruce trees differently affected by the forest decline in the Northern Black Forest in Germany.

Modeling responses of ponderosa pine to interacting stresses of ozone and drought

C. W. Chen, +2 more
- 01 May 1994 - 
TL;DR: Ozone and drought stresses had an antagonistic effect, in which the biomass reductions due to the combined stresses were less than the sum of reductions from individual stresses, however, the observed data indicated a protective effect, not simulated by the model.

- 01 Jan 1986 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a diel course of certain parameters that characterize the photosynthetic behavior of leaves was derived from diel courses of CO2 gas exchange and transpiration of intact Arbutus unedo leaves during the period August 1982 to September 1983.

Acclimation of photosynthesis in Norway spruce and red oak grown in open-top chambers and subjected to natural drought and to elevated CO2

Didier Le Thiec, +1 more
- 01 Jan 1996 - 
TL;DR: Diurnal measurements showed that enhancement of assimilation rates of trees grown at 700 μmol•mol−1 depended upon the time of day that measurements were made, and there was an acclimation to increased CO2 in both species that could not be explained by lea...

Portable Through-flow Cuvette System for Measuring Whole-canopy Gas Exchange of Apple Trees in the Field

Jens N. Wünsche, +1 more
- 01 Jul 1997 - 
TL;DR: The whole-canopy cuvette system was evaluated without tree enclosure to determine the degree of noise in differential CO 2 concentration and H 2 O-vapor partial pressure and was found to be acceptable with ΔCO 2 ± 0.3 μmol.
