Climate change is expected to increase the frequency and severity of droughts. These
events, which can cause significant perturbations of terrestrial ecosystems and potentially …

Forests are increasingly subject to a number of disturbances that can adversely influence
their health. Remote sensing offers an efficient alternative for assessing and monitoring …

Climate change can lead to the simultaneous occurrence of extreme droughts and heat
waves increasing the frequency of compound events with unknown impacts on forests. Here …

Recent studies have identified strong relationships between delayed recovery of tree growth
after drought and tree mortality caused by subsequent droughts. These observations raise …

Tree species display a wide variety of water‐use strategies, growth rates and capacity to
tolerate drought. However, if we want to forecast species capacity to cope with increasing …

Water use efficiency (WUE) is an ecological indicator reflecting the link between carbon and
water cycles in terrestrial ecosystems, which is often affected by drought disturbance …

Drought events may reduce growth and survival of conifer trees. The effects of the intensity
and timing of drought on the growth resilience, including growth reductions during drought …

Forest decline, in course of climate change, has become a frequently observed
phenomenon. Much of the observed decline has been associated with an increasing …

Severe droughts limit tree growth and forest productivity worldwide, a phenomenon which is
expected to aggravate over the next decades. However, how drought intensity and climatic …

A higher frequency and intensity of droughts will impair forest productivity. Therefore,
improving our understanding of which factors enhance tree growth resilience against …
