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

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

Over the last decades, the natural disturbance is increasingly putting pressure on European
forests. Shifts in disturbance regimes may compromise forest functioning and the continuous …

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

Forests are currently a substantial carbon sink globally. Many climate change mitigation
strategies leverage forest preservation and expansion, but rely on forests storing carbon for …

Patterns, mechanisms, projections, and consequences of tree mortality and associated
broad‐scale forest die‐off due to drought accompanied by warmer temperatures—“hotter …

Canada's boreal forests, which occupy approximately 30% of boreal forests worldwide, play
an important role in the global carbon budget. However, there is little quantitative information …

Humans rely on healthy forests to supply energy, building materials, and food and to provide
services such as storing carbon, hosting biodiversity, and regulating climate. Defining forest …

Terrestrial gross primary production (GPP) is the basis of vegetation growth and food
production globally and plays a critical role in regulating atmospheric CO2 through its impact …

Climate change is expected to drive increased tree mortality through drought, heat stress,
and insect attacks, with manifold impacts on forest ecosystems. Yet, climate‐induced tree …
