Interactions between growth, demography and biotic interactions in determining species range limits in a warming world: the case of Pinus sylvestris (2012, background): “…capacity (Juntunen and Neuvonen, 2006; Dobbertin et al., 2007; Fabre et al., 2011), as well as greater consequences of an attack due to the weakening of trees induced by drought in some areas (Croisé and Lieutier, 1993; Dobbertin et al., 2007; Wermelinger et al., 2008; Heiniger et al., 2011).”
Are Scots pine forest edges particularly prone to drought-induced mortality? (2018, background): “…factors may be a stronger competition for water resources (Giuggiola et al 2013) and a stronger infestation with mistletoe (Dobbertin and Rigling 2006, Galiano et al 2010), fungi such as Diplodia pinea, or bark-beetles such as Tomicus piniperda or Phaenops cyanea (Wermelinger et al 2008).”
Species-specific stomatal response of trees to drought - a link to vegetation dynamics? (2009, background): “There have also been indirect impacts associated with global warming, such as better breeding conditions for insects (Bale et al. 2003; Wermelinger et al. 2008), increased growth of parasites and hemi-parasites, e.g. mistletoe (Jeffree & Jeffree 1996; Dobbertin et al. 2005a), and additional inputs…”
