  abstract = {{D}etermining the main factors causing urban tree decline is becoming essential for sustaining their health and survival. {U}nderstanding responses of tree growth to urban environments and climate change throughout tree life span is thus necessary. {T}o explore these questions, a dendrochronological study exploring past climate-tree growth relationships was conducted on street and park silver lindens in {P}aris, according to different {DBH} classes used as a proxy of tree age, and using climatic data for the 1970-2013 period. {Y}ounger urban silver lindens presented high sensitivity to climate with highest growth rate. {I}n comparison with park trees, street trees had higher sensitivity to climate and lower growth rates. {C}limatic and pointer years analysis pointed out the importance of drought characterization in order to understand its potential impact on tree annual growth and functioning. {U}rban silver lindens growth is mainly and strongly correlated with precipitations and especially in autumn and spring. {F}inally, our study on temporal evolution between climatic factors and growth through 1970-2013 periods showed a stronger stability between growth and precipitation only in {O}ctober and revealed quick climatic changes since 40 years impacting the relation between tree growth and climate. {O}ur study highlights that an optimized irrigation management, specifically in respect of tree phenology, could contribute to maximizing silver linden functioning and survival in {P}aris under climate change.},
