A global overview of drought and heat-induced tree mortality reveals emerging climate change risks for forests

Drought-induced shift of a forest–woodland ecotone: Rapid landscape response to climate variation

In coming decades, global climate changes are expected to produce large shifts in vegetation distributions at unprecedented rates. These shifts are expected to be most rapid and...

Interactions Across Spatial Scales among Forest Dieback, Fire, and Erosion in Northern New Mexico Landscapes

Regional vegetation die-off in response to global-change-type drought

Future drought is projected to occur under warmer temperature conditions as climate change progresses, referred to here as global-change-type drought, yet quantitative assessmen...

Tree die‐off in response to global change‐type drought: mortality insights from a decade of plant water potential measurements

Global climate change is projected to produce warmer, longer, and more frequent droughts, referred to here as “global change‐type droughts”, which have the potential to trigger ...

Nonlinear dynamics in ecosystem response to climatic change: Case studies and policy implications

The importance of rapid, disturbance‐induced losses in carbon management and sequestration

Abstract Management of terrestrial carbon fluxes is being proposed as a means of increasing the amount of carbon sequestered in the terrestrial biosphere. This approach is gener...

Pervasive shifts in forest dynamics in a changing world

Shifting forest dynamics Forest dynamics are the processes of recruitment, growth, death, and turnover of the constituent tree species of the forest community. These processes a...
