Global review on interactions between insect pests and other forest disturbances (2021, background): “Many studies have explored the interactions between insect pests and other disturbance agents (Colgan and Erbilgin 2010; Day and Pérez 2013; Gitau et al. 2013; Anderegg et al. 2015; Millar and Stephenson 2015; Kolb et al. 2016; Agne et al. 2018; Leverkus et al. 2018).”
Topoclimates, refugia, and biotic responses to climate change (2020, background): “Lastly, tree mortality from ecological disturbances such as fire and drought may provide important regeneration opportunities for other species and may represent critical episodes of biotic change (Millar and Stephenson 2015; Krawchuck et al. 2020).”
Tree vitality indicators revealed a rapid response of beech forests to the 2018 drought (2021, background): “On the other hand, we can expect that the vulnerability of beech forests increases so that exceptional droughts can push them at their limit (Millar and Stephenson, 2015).”
High and dry: post‐fire tree seedling establishment in subalpine forests decreases with post‐fire drought and large stand‐replacing burn patches (2016, background): “Concerns are particularly heightened in temperate (Millar & Stephenson, 2015) and boreal forests (Gauthier et al ., 2015) world-wide.”
Observed and anticipated impacts of drought on forest insects and diseases in the United States (2016, background): “, 2006) and anthropogenic stressors (Millar and Stephenson, 2015) are important in determining continental-scale forest productivity, carbon balance, ecotones between forests, shrublands and grasslands, and many other forest ecosystem services.”
Banking on the future: progress, challenges and opportunities for the genetic conservation of forest trees (2017, background): “2016), drought (Millar and Stephenson 2015), climate change (van Mantgem et al.”
Declining old‐forest species as a legacy of large trees lost (2018, background): “…the many endangered species that inhabit them, centres on restoring forest structure and function (Chazdon, 2008) thereby increasing forest resilience to disturbance from fire, disease, and drought (Millar & Stephenson, 2015) and conserving wildlife habitat over the long term (Tempel et al., 2015).”
Forest Soil Bacteria: Diversity, Involvement in Ecosystem Processes, and Response to Global Change (2017, background): “It is clear that the degree to which rising CO2 levels will be offset by C sequestration in forest ecosystems will strongly depend on the adaptation of both trees and soil microorganisms to the altered environmental conditions.”
Climate change effects on biodiversity, ecosystems, ecosystem services, and natural resource management in the United States. (2020, background): “to direct changes in order to minimize loss of valued species and services as ecosystems transform (Aplet and Mckinley, 2017; Millar and Stephenson, 2015; Stein et al., 2013).”
Disturbance refugia within mosaics of forest fire, drought, and insect outbreaks (2020, background): “…measures to conserve drought refugia may include protecting aquifers from groundwater extraction, contamination, and salinization (eg Davis et al. 2013), along with efforts to enhance drought resistance (eg propagation of trees with desired physiological traits; Millar and Stephenson 2015).”
