Is drought the main decline factor at the rear edge of Europe? The case of southern Iberian pine plantations (2012, background): “In agreement with previous studies on drought-induced decline after extreme climate events in Spain (e.g., Galiano et al., 2010; Carnicer et al., 2011) our results confirm a correlation among the decline process and both spring climatic conditions and summer drought intensity.”
Species mixing reduces drought susceptibility of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and oak (Quercus robur L., Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.) – Site water supply and fertility modify the mixing effect (2020, neutral): “(European Drought Centre, 2019), 1996 (Carnicer et al., 2011), 2003 (Ciais et al.”
What Do We Learn from the Weather? The New Climate-Economy Literature (2014, positive): “Longitudinal data has also shown that tree deaths are strongly related to low rainfall levels on the Iberian Peninsula region (Carnicer et al. 2011), although the variation used for estimation is across both space and time.”
Plant resistance to drought depends on timely stomatal closure. (2017, background): “Recent drought episodes have been identified as the triggers for widespread plant mortality events around the world (Allen et al. 2010; Carnicer et al. 2011; Park Williams et al. 2012).”
Growth patterns and sensitivity to climate predict silver fir decline in the Spanish Pyrenees (2012, methodology): “Moreover, tree decline is also linked to crown defoliation (see for instance Carnicer et al. 2011).”
Responses of sapwood ray parenchyma and non‐structural carbohydrates of Pinus sylvestris to drought and long‐term irrigation (2017, background): “Increases in the length, frequency, intensity and spatial extent of drought episodes are expected to reduce forest productivity and increase drought-induced tree mortality rates (Breda et al. 2006; Allen et al. 2010; Carnicer et al. 2011).”
Climate Relicts: Past, Present, Future (2011, background): “…and mortality at later stages Jump et al. (2006), Peñuelas et al. (2007), Sarris et al. (2007), van Mantgem & Stephenson (2007), Galiano et al. (2010), Carnicer et al. (2011) • Population dynamics and extinction Epps et al. (2004), Beever et al. (2010) • Competition Knox (1997), Müller et al.…”
Impacts of Global Change on Mediterranean Forests and Their Services (2017, background): “The condition of forest crowns in the Mediterranean Basin deteriorated between 1987–2007 [129].”
Extreme climatic events and vegetation: the role of stabilizing processes (2012, background): “In some situations extreme climatic events that increase mortality of dominant plant species could cause a simultaneous reduction in pest and pathogen density or in herbivory (Carnicer et al., 2011).”
Large-scale recruitment limitation in Mediterranean pines: the role of Quercus ilex and forest successional advance as key regional drivers (2014, methodology): “…types and changing climate–fire relationships (Loepfe et al., 2012; Pausas & Paula, 2012); improved forest demographic analyses on large scales (e.g. Carnicer et al., 2011; Gómez-Aparicio et al., 2011; Ruiz-Benito et al., 2012; Coll et al., 2013; Vayreda et al., 2013); the consideration of future…”
How do trees die? A test of the hydraulic failure and carbon starvation hypotheses (2013, background): “2009), temperate mountainous and Mediterranean forests (van Mantgem et al. 2009; Carnicer et al. 2011) and boreal forests (Peng et al.”
Impacts of climate change on plant diseases—opinions and trends (2012, background): “Regional tree declines due to drought, new pathogens and existing pests, and the interactions between these factors, can have negative repercussions on biodiversity (Fischer et al. 2010; Parks and Bernier 2010; Tomback and Achuff 2010; Carnicer et al. 2011; McDowell et al. 2011).”
