Interaction of drought and frost in tree ecophysiology: rethinking the timing of risks
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13595-021-01052- Abstract • Key message The increase in climate variability is likely to generate an increased occurrence of both frost-induced and drought-induced damages on perennial plants. We examined how these stress factors…

Challenges for drought assessment in the Mediterranean region under future climate scenarios
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0012825220303949 Abstract Droughts can have strong environmental and socio-economic impacts in the Mediterranean region, in particular for countries relying on rain-fed agricultural production, but also in areas in which irrigation plays an…

Intra-specific variability in deep water extraction between trees growing on a Mediterranean karst
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S002216942030888X Abstract Plant transpiration is a major component of water fluxes in the critical zone, which needs to be better characterized to improve our ability to understand and model the hydrological cycle.…

Distribution of endemic bark beetle attacks and their physiological consequences on Pinus halepensis
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378112719324223 One factor that determines a tree’s resilience capacity to drought is its level of interaction with aggravating biotic factors, such as bark beetles, which in turn depends on whether insect populations…

Tree xylem water isotope analysis by Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry and Laser Spectrometry: a dataset to explore tree response to drought
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352340920302432 Water isotopes from plant xylem and surrounding environment are increasingly used in eco-hydrological studies. Carrière et al. [1] analyzed a dataset of water isotopes in (i) the xylem of three different tree…

Using socioeconomic system analysis to define scientific needs: a reverse engineering method applied to the conversion of a coal-fired to a wood biomass power plant
https://www.ecologyandsociety.org/vol25/iss4/art16/ ABSTRACT. One of the greatest challenges when addressing issues in complex social-ecological systems (SES), is the need for an efficient interdisciplinary framework when large-magnitude social and ecological disturbances occur. Teams comprising…

Integrating evolutionary, demographic and ecophysiological processes to predict the adaptive dynamics of forest tree populations under global change
https://doi.org/10.1007/s11295-020-01451-1 Abstract Three types of process-based models (PBMs) are traditionally used to predict the response of forest tree populations to global change (GC): (i) ecophysiological models, which simulate carbon and water fluxes…

Microgeographic adaptation and the effect of pollen flow on the adaptive potential of a temperate tree species
In species with long‐distance dispersal capacities and inhabiting a large ecological niche, local selection and gene flow are expected to be major evolutionary forces affecting the genetic adaptation of natural populations. Yet,…
