Intensity and timing of warming and drought differentially affect growth patterns of co-occurring Mediterranean tree species (2013, result): “As expected, tree size influenced growth responses (Gómez-Aparicio et al. 2011), but contrary to expectations (Linares et al. 2010; Gómez-Aparicio et al. 2011) competition was not an important factor affecting the growth of the trees studied.”
Competition alters tree growth responses to climate at individual and stand scales (2015, unknown): “We found that competition altered tree growth responses to climate at individual and stand scales, suggesting that the effects of climate change on growth will vary based on the local competitive environment (also see Clark et al. 2011; Fernández-de-Uña et al. 2015; Linares et al. 2010).”
Increasing Drought Sensitivity and Decline of Atlas Cedar (Cedrus atlantica) in the Moroccan Middle Atlas Forests (2011, background): “Denser stands normally result in stronger tree-to-tree competition [26] and subsequent self-thinning, which alters, for instance, the soil-water availability per unit of basal area [27,28].”
Growth patterns and sensitivity to climate predict silver fir decline in the Spanish Pyrenees (2012, background): “The process of tree dying may take decades (Villalba and Veblen 1998; Linares et al. 2010), and it is driven by a sequence of multiple stress factors (Franklin et al.”
Selective drought-induced decline of pine species in southeastern Spain (2012, methodology): “Acknowledgements We thank the support of Junta de Andalucía, project GESBOME (P06-RNM-1890), project INTERBOS (CGL2008-04503-CO3-02) and a FPU grant (AP2007-04747, MCI, Spain) to the first author.”
Contrasting vulnerability and resilience to drought-induced decline of densely planted vs. natural rear-edge Pinus nigra forests (2013, background): “On the other hand, a strong interaction between stand structure and climate–growth relationships was also detected (see Linares et al., 2010).”
Species-specific water use by forest tree species: from the tree to the stand (2012, background): “The presence of extreme dry periods might be common worldwide in the future, impacting very negatively the sustainability and productivity of forests already threat by drought such as those at the rear edge of their geographical distribution; this has been well documented for some areas of the Medit”
