Growth-limiting factors and climate response variability in Norway spruce (Picea abiesL.) along an elevation and precipitation gradients in Slovenia

Jernej Jevsenak et al.

Summary: Norway spruce shows site-specific responses to climate change, with lower elevation drier sites being more moisture limited and higher elevation moister sites being more temperature limited. Radial growth correlates negatively with rising summer temperature and positively with higher spring precipitation, except for the wettest site at the highest elevation which shows the opposite response.

Climate warming causes mast seeding to break down by reducing sensitivity to weather cues

Michal Bogdziewicz et al.

Summary: Climate change is altering seed production patterns globally, affecting population recruitment and migration potential. Failure in masting features due to changes in seed production synchrony and interannual variation can lead to decreased pollination efficiency and increased seed predation. Trees failed to respond to weather signals as summers warmed, resulting in less synchronized flowering and less efficient pollination, which could impact regeneration of perennial plants in the future.

Warmer springs have increased the frequency and extension of late-frost defoliations in southern European beech forests

Gabriel Sanguesa-Barreda et al.

Summary: Climate change is leading to an increase in extreme weather events, impacting forest function and composition. This study focused on late frost defoliation (LFD) events in southern European beech forests, revealing an increasing trend in LFD occurrences. By analyzing tree-ring data, researchers found that warm temperatures before late-spring frosts negatively affected beech growth, especially in the southernmost populations like those in Spain and southern Italy.

Amplifying feedback loop between growth and wood anatomical characteristics of Fraxinus excelsior explains size-related susceptibility to ash dieback

Stefan Klesse et al.

Summary: The study suggests that smaller or slower-growing trees are more susceptible to crown dieback compared to larger or faster-growing trees. Factors such as defoliation, vessel size, and non-structural carbohydrate concentrations play a role in this phenomenon, leading to stronger symptoms of dieback and higher mortality rates in smaller and slower-growing trees.
