Abstract Although it is an integral part of global change, most the research addressing effects climate change on forests have overlooked role environmental pollution. Similarly, studies investigating air pollutants generally neglected impacts change. We review current knowledge combined pollution and forest ecosystems identify several key priorities as a roadmap for future. Specifically, we recommend (1) establishment much denser array monitoring sites, particularly in South Hemisphere; (2) further integration ground satellite monitoring; (3) generation flux‐based standards critical levels taking into account sensitivity dominant tree species; (4) long‐term N, S, P cycles base cations deposition together at scale; (5) intensification experimental studies, different abiotic factors by assuring better representation taxonomic functional diversity across ~73,000 species Earth; (6) more focus phenomics genomics; (7) improved processes regulating dynamics radionuclides systems; (8) development models integrating data from programs.

Stand age significantly influences the functioning of forest ecosystems by shaping structural and physiological plant traits, affecting water carbon budgets. Forest distribution is determined interplay tree mortality regeneration, influenced both natural anthropogenic disturbances. Unfortunately, human-driven alteration presents an underexplored avenue for enhancing stability resilience. In our study, we investigated how impacts resilience budget under current future climate conditions. We employed a state-of-the-science biogeochemical, biophysical, validated process-based model on historically managed stands, projecting their as undisturbed systems, i.e., left at evolution with no management interventions (i.e., forests are to develop undisturbed). Such model, forced data from five Earth System Models four representative scenarios one baseline scenario disentangle effect change, spanned several classes European forests' context, each stand. Our findings indicate that Net Primary Production (NPP) peaks in young middle-aged (16- 50-year-old), aligning longstanding ecological theories, regardless scenario.

Through photosynthesis, forests absorb annually large amounts of atmospheric CO2. However, they also release CO2 back through respiration. These two, opposite in sign, fluxes determine how much the carbon is stored or released into atmosphere. The mean seasonal cycle (MSC) an interesting metric that associates phenology and (C) partitioning/allocation analysis within forest stands. Here, we applied 3D-CMCC-FEM model analyzed its capability to represent main C-fluxes, by validating against observed data, questioning if sink/source seasonality influenced under two scenarios climate change, five contrasting European sites. We found has, current conditions, robust predictive abilities estimating NEE. Model results predict a consistent reduction forest’s capabilities act as C-sink change stand-aging at all Such predicted despite number annual days evergreen increasing over years, indicating downward trend. Similarly, deciduous forests, maintaining relatively stable throughout year century, show their overall capacity. Overall, both types sites future mitigating potential.
