Attributing forest responses to global‐change drivers: limited evidence of aCO2‐fertilization effect in Iberian pine growth

Abstract: Aim Forest responses to global‐change drivers such as rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations (Ca), warming temperatures and increased aridification will depend on tree species and site characteristics. We aim to determine if rising Ca enhances growth of coexisting pine species along broad ecological gradients in a drought‐prone area. Location Iberian Range, Spain. Methods We sampled 557 trees of five pine species encompassing a wide climatic gradient and measured their radial growth. We used nonlinear flexible … Show more

“…In the case of pine species, the P. pinaster defoliation degree was linked to the summer water balance (Figure 3). This finding agrees with the pronounced sensitivity of radial growth to water shortage observed in P. pinaster [32].…”

“…These sites were selected because of their proximity (less than 10 km apart, similar elevation) with ICP-Forests plots having complete defoliation survey records to compare with mean plot growth data. Tree-ring width series of three tree species (P. pinaster, P. sylvestris, and Q. ilex) which are widely spread across Spain were obtained from a previous study [32] and updated until 2010 (see sites' features in Table 2). We used dendrochronology to cross-date the tree-ring width series and to obtain growth data.…”
