DOI: 10.1016/j.dendro.2018.03.004
Abstract: Many tree species from Mediterranean regions have started to show increased rates of crown defoliation, reduced growth, and dieback associated with the increase in temperatures and changes in the frequency and intensity of drought events… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jtherbio.2018.11.004
Abstract: The climatic variability hypothesis was applied to the thermal tolerance of edaphic and cave Collembola occupying contrasting environments. Collembola belonged to four categories - trogloxene, subtroglophile, eutroglophile and troglobiont - with a different degree of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/brv.12216
Abstract: While average temperature is likely to increase in most locations on Earth, many places will simultaneously experience higher variability in temperature, precipitation, and other climate variables. Although ecologists and evolutionary biologists widely recognize the potential… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.14142
Abstract: In this study, we investigated the role of climatic variability and atmospheric nitrogen deposition in driving long-term tree growth in canopy beech trees along a geographic gradient in the montane belt of the Italian peninsula,… read more here.
