Atmospheric and soil droughts were assessed using the SAMI and SSMI indices at northern European coniferous forest eddy‐covariance (EC) sites, and ecosystem responses were evaluated from EC flux data. The results show that soil droughts have been rare, while air moisture limitations on carbon and water fluxes occur more frequently. Atmospheric droughts

Long‐Term Biodiversity–Stability Relationship in Temperate Mountain Forests
ABSTRACT Aim Theories on ecological stability lack the long‐term observational data necessary to comprehend the dynamics of durable and complex ecosystems like forests; consequently, the influence of biodiversity on ecosystem stability remains predominantly unexplained.

Tree growth response and adaptation to climate change and climate extremes: From canopy to stem
This review synthesizes the responses and adaptations of tree growth, including canopy phenology, intra‐annual wood formation dynamics, and annual stem growth, to climate change and climate extremes. It highlights key knowledge gaps for future research to support sustainable forest management and enhance forest carbon storage under ongoing climate ...
