Contributions of intraspecific variation to drought tolerance in trees
Abstract Purpose of Review The capacity of woody plants to cope with climate change
depends on their adjustments to changing environmental conditions by phenotypic plasticity …

Competition‐induced tree mortality across Europe is driven by shade tolerance, proportion of conspecifics and drought
Forest stand densities are increasing in the boreal and temperate biomes, suggesting that
tree‐tree competition is intensifying. Anticipating the consequences of this intensified …

MASTREE+: Time‐series of plant reproductive effort from six continents
Significant gaps remain in understanding the response of plant reproduction to
environmental change. This is partly because measuring reproduction in long‐lived plants …

Hydraulic variability of tropical forests is largely independent of water availability
Tropical rainforest woody plants have been thought to have uniformly low resistance to
hydraulic failure and to function near the edge of their hydraulic safety margin (HSM) …

Functional traits and climate drive interspecific differences in disturbance‐induced tree mortality
With climate change, natural disturbances such as storm or fire are reshuffled, inducing
pervasive shifts in forest dynamics. To predict how it will impact forest structure and …

[HTML][HTML] Higher site productivity and stand age enhance forest susceptibility to drought-induced mortality
Warmer and drier conditions increase forest mortality worldwide. At the same time, nitrogen
deposition, longer growing seasons and higher atmospheric CO 2 concentrations may …

Tree growth response to drought partially explains regional‐scale growth and mortality patterns in Iberian forests
Tree‐ring data has been widely used to inform about tree growth responses to drought at the
individual scale, but less is known about how tree growth sensitivity to drought scales up …
