Frequent observations of higher mortality in larger trees than in smaller ones during
droughts have sparked an increasing interest in size‐dependent drought‐induced mortality …

Tropical forests are mitigating the ongoing climate crisis by absorbing more atmospheric
carbon than they emit. However, widespread increases in tree mortality rates are decreasing …

The frequency of severe droughts is increasing in many regions around the world as a result
of climate change 1–3. Droughts alter the structure and function of forests 4, 5. Site-and …

Understanding how plants survive drought and cold is increasingly important as plants
worldwide experience dieback with drought in moist places and grow taller with warming in …

The frequency and severity of drought are expected to increase due to climate change;
therefore, selection of tree species for afforestation should consider drought resistance of the …

At least one climate model predicts severe reductions of rainfall over Amazonia during this
century. Long‐term throughfall exclusion (TFE) experiments represent the best available …

Catastrophic hydraulic failure will likely be an important mechanism contributing to large‐
scale tree dieback caused by increased frequency and intensity of droughts under global …

Climate change is expected to lead to more frequent, intense and longer droughts in the
future, with major implications for ecosystem processes and human livelihoods. The impacts …

Trees are exceptional organisms that have evolved over some 385 million years and have
overtaken other plants in order to harvest light first. However, this advantage comes with a …

Droughts and their negative effects on forest ecosystems are projected to increase under
climate change for many regions. It has been suggested that intensive thinning could reduce …
