A synthesis of tree functional traits related to drought-induced mortality in forests across climatic zones (2017, background): “Drought-induced forest mortality in conjunction with elevated temperatures has already been reported in montane and boreal forests of Eurasia (Dobbertin & Rigling 2006; Kharuk et al. 2013b), the montane regions of the western USA (Anderegg et al. 2012) and the southern extent of the boreal forest…”
Are Scots pine forest edges particularly prone to drought-induced mortality? (2018, background): “…2016, Seidel and Menzel 2016), genetic variability (Allen et al 2010, Petrucco et al 2017, Seidel et al 2016, Seidel and Menzel 2016), and the selective influence of biotic pathogens such as bark beetles, fungi, and mistletoe (Dobbertin and Rigling 2006, Galiano et al 2011, Wermelinger et al 2008).”
Interactions between growth, demography and biotic interactions in determining species range limits in a warming world: the case of Pinus sylvestris (2012, background): “During drought, when the host tree closes its stomata to reduce transpiration, the mistletoe continues to transpire, increasing the drought stress of the tree and inducing mortality in some cases (Fischer, 1983; Dobbertin and Rigling, 2006; Galiano et al., 2010).”
Assessing the role of bark‐ and wood‐boring insects in the decline of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) in the Swiss Rhone valley (2008, background): “The level of transparency has previously been © 2008 The Authors Journal compilation © 2008 The Royal Entomological Society, Ecological Entomology, 33, 239–249 found to correlate directly with tree mortality ( Dobbertin & Brang, 2001; Dobbertin & Rigling, 2006 ).”
Drought induced decline could portend widespread pine mortality at the xeric ecotone in managed mediterranean pine-oak woodlands (2014, background): “Mistletoes preferentially infest weak trees already affected by long-term predisposing factors to decline like water stress (Dobbertin and Rigling, 2006; Cailleret et al., 2013).”
Drought-Induced Multifactor Decline of Scots Pine in the Pyrenees and Potential Vegetation Change by the Expansion of Co-occurring Oak Species (2010, background): “This is consistent with previous studies (Dobbertin and Rigling 2006), and with the fact that during a drought episode, when the tree reduces its transpiration rates by stomatal closure, the mistletoe continues to transpire increasing the water stress experienced by host trees (Fischer 1983; Press…”
