Using indexed tree‐ring widths (TRW<jats:sub>i</jats:sub>), we assess shifts in the temporal coherence of radial growth across sites (synchrony) for five forest ecosystems (Atlantic, boreal, cold continental, Mediterranean and temperate). We also examine whether TRW<jats:sub>i</jats:sub> shows variable coupling with leaf‐level gas exchange, inferred from indexed carbon isotope discrimination of tree‐ring cellulose (Δ<jats:sup>13</jats:sup>C<jats:sub>i</jats:sub>).</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results</jats:title><jats:p>We find spatial autocorrelation for TRW<jats:sub>i</jats:sub> and Δ<jats:sup>13</jats:sup>C<jats:sub>i</jats:sub> extending over a maximum of 1,000 km among forest stands. However, growth synchrony is not uniform across Europe, but increases along a latitudinal gradient concurrent with decreasing temperature and evapotranspiration. Latitudinal relationships between TRW<jats:sub>i</jats:sub> and Δ<jats:sup>13</jats:sup>C<jats:sub>i</jats:sub> (changing from negative to positive southwards) point to drought impairing carbon uptake via stomatal regulation for water saving occurring at forests below 60° N in continental Europe. An increase in forest growth synchrony over the 20th century together with increasingly positive relationships between TRW<jats:sub>i</jats:sub> and Δ<jats:sup>13</jats:sup>C<jats:sub>i</jats:sub> indicate intensifying impacts of drought on tree performance. These effects are noticeable in drought‐prone biomes (Mediterranean, temperate and cold continental).</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Main conclusions</jats:title><jats:p>At the turn of this century, convergence in growth synchrony across European forest ecosystems is coupled with coordinated warming‐induced effects of drought on leaf physiology and tree growth spreading northwards. Such a tendency towards exacerbated moisture‐sensitive growth and physiology could override positive effects of enhanced leaf intercellular CO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> concentrations, possibly resulting in Europe‐wide declines of forest carbon gain in the coming decades.</jats:p></jats:sec>
