A synthesis of tree functional traits related to drought-induced mortality in forests across climatic zones

Forest dieback caused by drought-induced tree mortality has been observed world-wide. Forecasting which trees in which locations are vulnerable to drought-induced mortality is important to predict the consequences of drought on forest structure, …

Ecosystem dynamics and management after forest Die-Off: A global synthesis with conceptual state-and-transition models

Broad-scale forest die-off associated with drought and heat has now been reported from every forested continent, posing a global-scale challenge to forest management. Climate-driven die-off is frequently compounded with other drivers of tree …
