Is drought the main decline factor at the rear edge of Europe? The case of southern Iberian pine plantations (2012, background): “Tree decline in Mediterranean stands is a complex process that has been attributed to a wide range of potential causes, often involving prior droughts that initiate a growth decline and a lengthy chain of interacting events (Camarero et al., 2004; Das et al., 2007; Galiano et al., 2010).”
Extreme drought alters competitive dominance within and between tree species in a mixed forest stand (2013, result): “consistent with previous research showing higher drought mortality for poorly growing canopy trees (Peterken & Mountford 1996; Bigler et al. 2007; Das et al. 2007).”
Drought induced decline could portend widespread pine mortality at the xeric ecotone in managed mediterranean pine-oak woodlands (2014, background): “, 2011), generally the risk of mortality within stands is maximized for trees with low growth and abrupt growth declines as surrogates of a less positive tree carbon balance (Bigler and Bugmann, 2004; Shifley et al., 2006; Das et al., 2007; Heres et al., 2012).”
Growth patterns and sensitivity to climate predict silver fir decline in the Spanish Pyrenees (2012, background): “vulnerability of tree species to climate change, have received less attention (Pedersen 1998b; Das et al. 2007).”
Detecting evidence for CO2 fertilization from tree ring studies: The potential role of sampling biases (2012, background): “Several studies find positive relationships between growth rates prior to tree death and short-term survival probabilities [Bigler and Bugmann, 2003; Das et al., 2007; Wyckoff and Clark, 2002].”
