Ecosystems are dynamic systems with complex responses to environmental variation. In
response to pervasive stressors of changing climate and disturbance regimes, many …

Changing disturbance regimes and climate can overcome forest ecosystem resilience.
Following high-severity fire, forest recovery may be compromised by lack of tree seed …

Climate change is increasing fire activity in the western United States, which has the
potential to accelerate climate-induced shifts in vegetation communities. Wildfire can …

Nature‐based solutions for water‐resource challenges require advances in the science of
ecohydrology. Current understanding is limited by a shortage of observations and theories …

As climate change drives increased drought in many forested regions, mechanistic
understanding of the factors conferring drought tolerance in trees is increasingly important …

Under prolonged drought and reduced photosynthesis, plants consume stored nonstructural
carbohydrates (NSCs). Stored NSC depletion may impair the regulation of plant water …

Climate change is anticipated to increase the frequency and intensity of droughts, with major
impacts to ecosystems globally. Broad-scale assessments of vegetation responses to …

Global warming is expected to exacerbate the duration and intensity of droughts in the
western United States, which may lead to increased tree mortality. A prevailing proximal …

Predicted increases in forest drought mortality highlight the need for predictors of incipient
drought‐induced mortality (DIM) risk that enable proactive large‐scale management. Such …

Abstract Across the southwestern United States, high-severity wildfire is causing
increasingly large areas of tree mortality and removing the seed sources required for the …
