Drought-associated woody-plant mortality has been increasing in most regions with multi-
decadal records and is projected to increase in the future, impacting terrestrial climate …

Greenhouse gas emissions have significantly altered global climate, and will continue to do
so in the future. Increases in the frequency, duration, and/or severity of drought and heat …

Abstract In 2018, Central Europe experienced one of the most severe and long-lasting
summer drought and heat wave ever recorded. Before 2018, the 2003 millennial drought …

Pulses of tree mortality caused by drought have been reported recently in forests around the
globe, but large-scale quantitative evidence is lacking for Europe. Analyzing high-resolution …

Severe droughts have been associated with regional‐scale forest mortality worldwide.
Climate change is expected to exacerbate regional mortality events; however, prediction …

In recent decades, an increasing persistence of atmospheric circulation patterns has been
observed. In the course of the associated long-lasting anticyclonic summer circulations …

Tree mortality is a key factor influencing forest functions and dynamics, but our
understanding of the mechanisms leading to mortality and the associated changes in tree …

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 world‐wide episodes of tree dieback have been attributed to increasing
temperatures and associated drought. Because these events are likely to become more …

Large-scale biogeographical shifts in vegetation are predicted in response to the altered
precipitation and temperature regimes associated with global climate change. Vegetation …
