Very happy to see the first paper of my #PhD out now in @GlobalChangeBio. "Evidence of non‐stationary relationships between climate and forest responses: Increased sensitivity to climate change in Iberian forests" https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/gcb.15198#.Xv9sVqshd_Y.twitter

We analysed three surveys from the Spanish Forest Inventory covering c. 30 years of information (1986-2017) 
We observed that Iberian forests are changing towards denser and more homogeneous stands, with bigger trees, increased mortality and reduced ingrowth and growth; mainly driven by the interactive effects of climate and forest structure

However, the trends in forest demography and productivity and the effect of their underlying climate and structural drivers were generally non-stationary (i.e. non-time stable)
Despite increasing productivity over time, we observed an aggravation of the negative effects of climate change and increased competition on forest demography, reducing ingrowth and growth, and increasing mortality
Interestingly, our results suggest that the negative effects of climate change on forest demography could be ameliorated through forest management which has profound implications for forest adaptation to climate change
