Mechanisms of woody-plant mortality under rising drought, CO2 and vapour pressure deficit
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 …

Drought predisposes piñon–juniper woodlands to insect attacks and mortality
To test the hypothesis that drought predisposes trees to insect attacks, we quantified the
effects of water availability on insect attacks, tree resistance mechanisms, and mortality of …
