Potential climate tip** points pose a growing risk for societies, and policy is calling for
improved anticipation of them. Satellite remote sensing can play a unique role in identifying …

Remote sensing techniques are increasingly used for studying ecosystem dynamics,
delivering spatially explicit information on the properties of Earth over large spatial and multi …

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

Forests are undergoing increasing risks of drought-induced tree mortality. Species
replacement patterns following mortality may have a significant impact on the global carbon …

With accelerating environmental change, understanding forest disturbance impacts on trade-
offs between biodiversity and carbon dynamics is of high socio-economic importance. Most …

Understanding how climate change affects coastal ecosystems is one of the most important
elements in determining vulnerability and resilience for long-term ecosystem management …

The oak (Quercus) species of eastern North America are declining in abundance,
threatening the many socioecological benefits they provide. We discuss the mechanisms …

Extreme weather events are increasing in frequency and intensity due to global climate
change. We hypothesized that tree carbon reserves are crucial for resilience of beech …

Dieback in temperate forests is understudied, despite this biome is predicted to be
increasingly affected by more extreme climate events in a warmer world. To evaluate the …

Forest dieback is manifested as widespread loss of tree vigor, growth decline and high
mortality rates. Forest dieback is becoming increasingly frequent and extended, particularly …
