“…Despite expectations, recent responses of boreal forests to climate change have not been consistent with predictions of enhanced tree growth. Instead, studies show either no change (Giguère‐Croteau et al, 2019; Girardin, Bouriaud, et al, 2016; but see Lloyd, Bunn, & Berner, 2011) or a decline in tree growth and survival (Chen & Luo, 2015; D'Arrigo, Wilson, Liepert, & Cherubini, 2008; Girardin, Hogg, et al, 2016; Lloyd & Bunn, 2007; Ma et al, 2012; Marchand, Girardin, Hartmann, Gauthier, & Bergeron, 2019; Peng et al, 2011; Walker & Johnstone, 2014). The few studies that report positive responses to climate change show that tree growth is enhanced by warming only in wet regions (Hember, Kurz, & Coops, 2017).…”
