This review examines the role of the atmospheric evaporative demand (AED) in drought.
AED is a complex concept and here we discuss possible AED definitions, the subsequent …

The warming of the global climate system is expected to result in significant socio-economic
stress, primarily through the occurrence of extreme weather and climate events, with the …

Heatwaves exert disproportionately strong and sometimes irreversible impacts on forest
ecosystems. These impacts remain poorly understood at the tree and species level and …

Drought will increasingly threaten forest ecosystems worldwide. Understanding how
competition influences tree growth response to drought is essential for forest management …

Drought events and their impacts vary spatially and temporally due to diverse pedo-climatic
and hydrologic conditions, as well as variations in exposure and vulnerability, such as …

In summer 2018, Europe experienced a record drought, but it remains unknown how the
drought affected ecosystem carbon dynamics. Using observations from 34 eddy covariance …

This study analyses long‐term changes in drought indices (Standardised Precipitation Index—
SPI, Standardised Precipitation–Evapotranspiration Index—SPEI) at 1 and 3 months scales …

Global climate change is projected to increase the severity and duration of droughts across
many regions of the world, which could push ecosystems across their tip** points. To …

The increasing duration of drought induced by global climate change has reduced forest
productivity. Biodiversity is believed to mitigate the effects of drought, thereby enhancing the …

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 …
