You, I think, but at the same time the changing climate patterns do mean that trees that previously were settled in well suited climates may now find them in climates with conditions the tree finds more difficult to handle. At the same time, air quality has generally improved in that time, and that's a key stress factor for plants too.

It might even be a maintenance issue and a result of a shifting definition of 'slightly heavier than usual rainstorm'. KNMI records show the Netherlands have been getting more rain per year over time for example, without necessarily impacting the number of rain events.
