Climate 'key driver' in European forest disturbances
However, they added, how the expected continuation of climate change would affect Europe's forests in the future remained unresolved.
The findings have been published online by the journal Nature Climate Change.
The researchers wrote: "Natural disturbances, that is, large pulses of tree mortality from agents such as wildfire, insect outbreaks or strong winds, are integral drivers of forest dynamics and contribute to the diversity and adaptive capacity of ecosystems."
But co-author Rupert Seidl from the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna observed: "These disturbances have intensified considerably in recent decades, which increasingly challenges the sustainable management of forest ecosystems."
The authors said the frequency and severity of large wildfires had increased around the globe over the past decade.
They added: "In addition, recent bark beetle outbreaks, for example, in North A;READ MORE

Rosetta spacecraft reaches Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
European spacecraft Rosetta became the first ever to catch up with a comet on Wednesday, a landmark stage in a decade-long space mission that scientists hope will help unlock some of the secrets of the solar system.
Scientists and spectators at ESA's mission control in Darmstadt, Germany, cheered Wednesday after the spacecraft successfully completed its final thrust to swing alongside comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
A Twitter account run by the ESA tweeted a photo of the craft's approach shortly after 5:30 a.m. ET.read more ,see photos and video link

Lights Out' ends day of WW1 centenary commemorations
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Harry and David Cameron attended a twilight ceremony at St Symphorien Military Cemetery near Mons, Belgium.
The Prince of Wales was at a service in Glasgow, among other commemorations.
The Lights Out event - organised by 14-18 NOW, a cultural programme to mark the centenary - saw households, businesses and public buildings across the UK turn out their lights to leave a single candle or light burning.
The event was inspired by the words of wartime Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey, who said on the eve of WW1: "The lamps are going out all over Europe; we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime."
The conflict between 1914 and 1918 - which became known as the Great War - left 17 million soldiers and civilians dead-.READ MORE AND VIDEO LINK
The family that pulls strings
Years later, the puppet company came back. By now, Lyndie was a student at art school, but she joined up to be general dogsbody and went touring through South Africa and neighbouring countries. The man who ran the theatre, John Wright, was older than her, but they fell in love. When Lyndie moved to London to study at the Central School of Art, John came too.
In a back alley in Islington, they found a ruined temperance hall. There was no roof and trees were growing in the main space. They decided to buy it and set up a permanent puppet theatre. They offered £750, John's inheritance from an aunt, and for this sum they were given the hall and a tiny adjacent cottage.
That was 50 years ago. Today, the Little Angel Theatre is known as the home of British puppetry, with an extraordinary reputation for developing talent. Patrons include Judi Dench, Simon Rattle and the author Michael Rosen. To mark the anniversary, the theatre is putting on a version of The Tempest in collaboration with the Royal Shakespeare Company. The show has just opened in Stratford before coming home to the tiny north- READ MORE
