Climate change is extending the growing season in European forests, but this effect will not be sufficient to offset the negative impacts of increasing drought stress. An international research team led by Jan Tumajer from the Department of Physical Geography and Geoecology, Faculty of Science, Charles University, analyzed more than 2,000 tree-ring width chronologies across Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe to come to this conclusion.
Longer growing seasons fail to counteract drought-driven declines in forest growth, study finds
