Coincidences of climate extremes and anomalous vegetation responses: comparing tree ring patterns to simulated productivity

Climate extremes can trigger exceptional responses in terrestrial ecosystems, for instance by altering growth or mortality rates. Such effects are often manifested in reductions in net primary productivity (NPP). Investigating a Europe-wide network of annual radial tree growth records confirms this...
