In response to 3°C GWL, forest productivity is projected to increase in NEU and altitudes, show mixed trends in WCE and decrease in SEU  . This trend is driven by increases in productivity of pine and spruce, and decreases of beech and oak, and excludes disturbances and management options . Water stress exacerbates the incidence from and effects of fire and other natural disturbances , resulting in forest productivity declines or cancelling out productivity gains from CO2  . In response to 1.7°C GLW, managed forest and unmanaged woodland areas are projected to decrease only minimally, while at GWL >2.5℃ losses are increasing for managed forest and unmanaged woodland . Reducing warming from 4°C GLW to below 1.7ºC GLW would reduce the Europe-wide impacts on managed forest by 34% .
