[HTML][HTML] Tropical and subtropical dendrochronology: Approaches, applications, and prospects
Tropical and subtropical forests cover only 7% of the Earth's land surface. Yet, they host
nearly half of global tree density with a high species number (∼ 40,000 species), store up to …

Tropical Trees Will Need to Acclimate to Rising Temperatures—But Can They?
For tropical forests to survive anthropogenic global warming, trees will need to avoid rising
temperatures through range shifts and “species migrations” or tolerate the newly emerging …

Increasing atmospheric dryness reduces boreal forest tree growth
Rising atmospheric vapour pressure deficit (VPD) associated with climate change affects
boreal forest growth via stomatal closure and soil dryness. However, the relationship …

Enhanced future vegetation growth with elevated carbon dioxide concentrations could increase fire activity
Many regions of the planet have experienced an increase in fire activity in recent decades.
Although such increases are consistent with warming and drying under continued climate …

Warming-induced drought leads to tree growth decline in subtropics: evidence from tree rings in central China
Subtropical forests provide diverse ecosystem services to human society. However, how
subtropical tree species respond to climate change is still unclear. Using a …

High vapour pressure deficit enhances turgor limitation of stem growth in an Asian tropical rainforest tree
Tropical forests are experiencing increases in vapour pressure deficit (D), with possible
negative impacts on tree growth. Tree‐growth reduction due to rising D is commonly …

Diel and seasonal stem growth responses to climatic variation are consistent across species in a subtropical tree community
Understanding how intra‐annual stem growth responds to atmospheric and soil conditions
is essential for assessing the effects of climate extremes on forest productivity. In species …

Consistent trends in dry spell length in recent observations and future projections
We identify global observed changes in dry‐spell characteristics that are consistent with
future projections and involve common physical drivers. Future projections of longer dry …
