BACKGROUND Forest dynamics arise from the interplay of chronic drivers and transient
disturbances with the demographic processes of recruitment, growth, and mortality. The …

Ecosystems are dynamic systems with complex responses to environmental variation. In
response to pervasive stressors of changing climate and disturbance regimes, many …

BACKGROUND Forests have considerable potential to help mitigate human-caused climate
change and provide society with a broad range of cobenefits. Local, national, and …

Widespread tree mortality following droughts has emerged as an environmentally and
economically devastating 'ecological surprise'. It is well established that tree physiology is …

Forest disturbances are sensitive to climate. However, our understanding of disturbance
dynamics in response to climatic changes remains incomplete, particularly regarding large …

Tree mortality rates appear to be increasing in moist tropical forests (MTF s) with significant
carbon cycle consequences. Here, we review the state of knowledge regarding MTF tree …

Plants encounter several biotic and abiotic stresses, usually in combination. This results in
major economic losses in agriculture and forestry every year. Climate change aggravates …

Insect disturbance are important agents of change in forest ecosystems around the globe,
yet their spatial and temporal distribution and dynamics are not well understood. Remote …

The distinction often made between active and passive restoration approaches is a false
dichotomy that persists in much research, policy, and financial structures today. We explore …

Drought has promoted large‐scale, insect‐induced tree mortality in recent years, with severe
consequences for ecosystem function, atmospheric processes, sustainable resources and …
