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 …

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

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

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 …

Events of regional-scale vegetation mortality appear to be increasing in a variety of biomes
throughout the Earth and are frequently associated with increased temperatures, droughts …

Despite decades of research on plant drought tolerance, the physiological mechanisms by
which trees succumb to drought are still under debate. We report results from an experiment …

We synthesize insights from current understanding of drought impacts at stand‐to‐
biogeographic scales, including management options, and we identify challenges to be …

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 …

Understanding the vulnerability of trees to drought-induced mortality is key to predicting the
fate of forests in a future climate with more frequent and intense droughts, although the …
