Abstract Tree mortality is a key factor influencing forest functions and dynamics, but our understanding of the mechanisms leading to associated changes in tree growth rates are still limited. We compiled new pan‐continental tree‐ring width database from sites where both dead living trees were sampled (2970 4224 190 sites, including 36 species), compared early recent between that died those survived given event. observed decrease radial before death ca. 84% events. The extent duration these...
Abstract We present evidence of a recent drying in the eastern Mediterranean, based on weather and tree‐ring data for Samos, an island Aegean Sea. Rainfall declined rapidly after late 1970s following trends entire Mediterranean was associated with reduced width Pinus brutia . The most decline led to lowest annual radial stem increment last 100 years (as far as records reach). As moisture availability decreased best correlations tree growth rainfall were obtained progressively longer...
Forest ecosystems function under increasing pressure due to global climate changes, while factors determining when and where mortality events will take place within the wider landscape are poorly understood. Observational studies essential for documenting forest decline events, understanding their determinants, developing sustainable management plans. A central obstacle towards achieving this goal is that often patchy across a range of spatial scales, characterized by long-term temporal...
Speech and language deficits often occur in preschool children, empirical studies have indicated an association between impairments challenges different cognitive domains. The primary aim of the current study was to evaluate associations speech deficits, executive function (EF) impairments, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), aspects giftedness Greek preschoolers based on assessments from their teachers. Investigating EFs, ADHD, another objective study. Finally, we examined a...
Abstract Under global warming, drought will reduce productivity of Pinus halepensis s.l. (subspecies and brutia ) cause a retreat from its rear edge distribution (latitudinal/elevational) in the Mediterranean. To test whether topography can influence this scenario, we studied for approximately 40 years growth six natural pine stands water-limited habitats on islands Zakinthos Samos (eastern Mediterranean Greece), determined critical moisture sources that drove growth. Dominant pines were...
Identifying the key climatic parameters controlling a tree species' growth in given environment can improve our understanding of adaptability to climate change. However, this be significantly affected by detection and analytical methodologies used, at least for water-limited ecosystems. To address issue, we tested together first time five methods widely applied detecting drivers growth. The test was on dynamics Pinus pinea L. (the last ca. 130 years) evaluating its sensitivity 60 years),...
