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.

Tolerance to shade, drought, and waterlogging of temperate northern hemisphere trees and shrubs

Ülo Niinemets, +1 more
- 01 Nov 2006 - 
TL;DR: Common scales of shade, drought, and waterlogging tolerance for 806 North American, European/West Asian, and East Asian temperate shrubs and trees were constructed to test the hypotheses that shade tolerance is negatively related to drought andWaterlogging tolerances, and that these correlations vary among continents and plant functional types.

Signal transduction during oxidative stress

Eva Vranová, +2 more

TL;DR: An overview of the literature is presented on the signalling role of AOS in plant defence responses, cell death, and development and the role of kinases and phosphatases in redox signal transduction.

Carbon limitation in trees

Christian Körner
- 01 Feb 2003 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore current levels of nonstructural carbon in trees in natural forests in order to estimate the potential for a carbon-driven stimulation of growth, and conclude that, irrespective of the reason for its periodic cessation, growth does not seem to be limited by carbon supply.

Temperature sensitivity of drought-induced tree mortality portends increased regional die-off under global-change-type drought

Henry D. Adams, +8 more
- 28 Apr 2009 - 
TL;DR: The results demonstrate the mechanism by which warmer temperatures have exacerbated recent regional die-offs events and background mortality rates and portend widespread increases in the extent and frequency of vegetation die-off.

Gas exchange measurements, what can they tell us about the underlying limitations to photosynthesis? Procedures

Stephen P. Long, +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a mathematical framework and practical procedures for determining the in vivo maximum rates of ribulose-1,5-b/sphosphate (RuBP) carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) carboxesylation (Vc,max) electron transport driving regeneration of RuBP (Jmax), and triosephosphates utilization (l^pu) are explained.
