AB To anticipate European climate scenarios for the end of the century, we explored the climategradient within the REINFFORCE (RÉseau INFrastructure de recherche pour le suivi et l’adaptationdes FORêts au Changement climatiquE) arboreta network, established in 38 sites between latitudes37  and 57 , where 33 tree species are represented. We aim to determine which climatic variablesbest explain their survival and growth, and identify those species that are more tolerant of climatevariation and those of which the growth and survival future climate might constrain. We usedempirical models to determine the best climatic predictor variables that explain tree survival andgrowth. Precipitation-transfer distance was most important for the survival of broadleaved species,whereas growing-season-degree days best explained conifer-tree survival. Growth (annual heightincrement) was mainly explained by a derived annual dryness index (ADI) for both conifers andbroadleaved trees. Species that showed the greatest variation in survival and growth in responseto climatic variation included Betula pendula Roth, Pinus elliottii Engelm., and Thuja plicata Donnex D.Don, and those that were least affected included Quercus shumardii Buckland and Pinus nigraJ.F.Arnold. We also demonstrated that provenance differences were significant for Pinus pinea L., Quercus robur L., and Ceratonia siliqua L. Here, we demonstrate the usefulness of infrastructures alonga climatic gradient like REINFFORCE to determine major tendencies of tree species responding toclimate changes.
