Trees are the living foundations on which most terrestrial biodiversity is built. Central to the
success of trees are their woody bodies, which connect their elevated photosynthetic …

Climate change is expected to increase the frequency and severity of droughts. These
events, which can cause significant perturbations of terrestrial ecosystems and potentially …

Recovery time, the time it takes for ecosystems to return to normal states after experiencing
droughts, is critical for assessing the response of ecosystems to droughts; however, the …

Multi‐year lags in tree drought recovery, termed 'drought legacy effects', are important for
understanding the impacts of drought on forest ecosystems, including carbon (C) cycle …

Recent studies have identified strong relationships between delayed recovery of tree growth
after drought and tree mortality caused by subsequent droughts. These observations raise …

As climate change drives increased drought in many forested regions, mechanistic
understanding of the factors conferring drought tolerance in trees is increasingly important …

Despite a long history of discussion of 'non‐stationarity'in dendrochronology, researchers
and modellers in diverse fields commonly rely on the implicit assumption that tree growth …

The terrestrial biosphere absorbs about 30% of the CO 2 emitted by human activities each
year. The persistence of such a carbon sink, however, depends on vegetation responses to …

Drought is intensifying globally with climate change, creating an urgency to understand
ecosystem response to drought both during and after these events end to limit loss of …

Extreme events such as the summer drought of 2018 in Central Europe are projected to
occur more frequently in the future and may cause major damages including increased tree …
