Plant invasions along mountain roads: the altitudinal amplitude of alien Asteraceae forbs in their native and introduced ranges (2009, background): “However, the climate of the Valais has become slightly warmer and drier in recent years (Rebetez and Dobbertin 2004).”
Drought as an Inciting Mortality Factor in Scots Pine Stands of the Valais, Switzerland (2006, background): “Drought leads not only to increased needle loss (Rebetez and Dobbertin 2004), but also to reduced needle and shoot length with fewer needle pairs in the following year (Clements 1969).”
Are Scots pine forest edges particularly prone to drought-induced mortality? (2018, background): “…2012, Oberhuber et al 1998, Oberhuber 2017, Oberhuber and Gruber 2010, Oberhuber and Kofler 2000, Pellizzari et al 2016, Pichler and Oberhuber 2007, Rebetez and Dobbertin 2004, Rigling et al 2013, Sánchez-Salguero et al 2015, Seidel et al 2016, Seidel and Menzel 2016, Swidrak et al 2011,…”
Climate change‐linked range expansion of Nathusius’ pipistrelle bat, Pipistrellus nathusii (Keyserling & Blasius, 1839) (2010, background): “This may be either a direct effect, as conditions change beyond those to which the species has adapted (Visser & Holleman, 2001; Rebetez & Dobbertin, 2004; Araújo et al., 2006), or an indirect effect, where prey species are no longer present or seasonal occurrences become mismatched (Levinsky et…”
Interactions between growth, demography and biotic interactions in determining species range limits in a warming world: the case of Pinus sylvestris (2012, background): “…summer has induced a high mortality rate in Scots pine stands throughout the Mediterranean region and inner Alpine valleys (Vertui and Tagliaferro, 1997; Martínez-Vilalta and Piñol, 2002; Rebetez and Dobbertin, 2004; Dieguez-Aranda et al., 2005; Dobbertin et al., 2005a; Galiano et al., 2010).”
Species-specific stomatal response of trees to drought - a link to vegetation dynamics? (2009, background): “…of plant species to higher altitudes (Peñuelas & Boada 2003; Dobbertin et al. 2005a; Walther et al. 2005; Gehrig-Fasel et al. 2007) and towards the poles have been reported for past and current climate warming (Walther et al. 2002; Rebetez & Dobbertin 2004; IPCC 2007; Vittoz et al. 2008).”
Radial growth responses to drought of Pinus sylvestris and Quercus pubescens in an inner-Alpine dry valley (2007, background): “Since 1980, the number of days per summer with a mean temperature above 20 °C has more than doubled (Rebetez & Dobbertin 2004).”
Competition modulates the adaptation capacity of forests to climatic stress: insights from recent growth decline and death in relict stands of the Mediterranean fir Abies pinsapo (2010, background): “…processes, rather than just short-term extreme events, seem to be strongly related to tree decline too, as has recently been shown for several conifer species in Europe (Bigler & Bugmann 2004; Bigler et al. 2004; Rebetez & Dobbertin 2004) and North America (Waring 1987; vanMantgem&Stephenson 2007).”
Pine mistletoe (Viscum album ssp. austriacum) contributes to Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) mortality in the Rhone valley of Switzerland (2006, background): “Since the 1990s a new pine dieback episode has been observed (Rigling and Cherubini 1999; Rebetez and Dobbertin 2004; Rigling et al. 2004; Dobbertin et al. 2005b).”
