How tree roots respond to drought (2015, background): “In addition, the frequency, intensity and duration of extreme climatic events, such as droughts, ﬂoods, and storms, has increased in recent decades, and a continuation of this trend is predicted (IPCC, 2007, 2014; Cavin et al., 2013).”
The Urban Environment Can Modify Drought Stress of Small-Leaved Lime (Tilia cordata Mill.) and Black Locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) (2016, background): “Tree-ring analysis of forest trees has been conducted in many studies [29,31,35–37], whereas studies on urban trees are relatively scarce [3,15,33].”
Effects of stand composition and tree size on resistance and resilience to drought in sessile oak and Scots pine (2015, background): “At the ecosystem level, the composition 46 (Smith, 2011; Cavin et al., 2013), structure and distribution of forests as well as the water, 47 carbon and nutrient cycles are expected to be modified in the context of climate change (Bréda 48 et al., 2006; Galiano et al., 2011; Cheaib et al., 2012).”
Resilience of forests to pathogens: An evolutionary ecology perspective (2015, background): “In these circumstances, species distribution and density will partly reflect past episodes of infrequent but extreme environmental fluctuations (Cavin et al., 2013).”
Emergent insects, pathogens and drought shape changing patterns in oak decline in North America and Europe (2015, background): “…(Abrams, 1990), recent work suggests that phenotypic and genotypic changes in individual oak populations may occur in response to selection pressures exerted by long-term droughts of increasing severity (e.g. Cavin et al., 2013), potentially making oaks yet more resilient to drought over time.”
