The ongoing global climate change is challenging all sectors, forestry notwithstanding. On
the one hand, forest ecosystems are exposed to and threatened by climate change, but on …

This article reviews current drought effects on environmental systems. It stresses the need
for considering environmental drought as a relevant type to be included in drought …

Accumulating evidence highlights increased mortality risks for trees during severe drought,
particularly under warmer temperatures and increasing vapour pressure deficit (VPD) …

Forest biodiversity and ecosystem services are hitherto predominantly quantified in forest
interiors, well away from edges. However, these edges also represent a substantial …

In view of future changes in climate, it is important to better understand how different plant
functional groups (PFG s) respond to warmer and drier conditions, particularly in temperate …

Land surface vegetation dynamics are strongly affected by drought. Thus, understanding the
responses of vegetation to drought can inform measures to increase biome stability. In this …

The spatiotemporal evolution of vegetation and its influencing factors can be used to explore
the relationships among vegetation, climate change, and human activities, which are of …

Growth models can be used to assess forest vulnerability to climate warming. If global
warming amplifies water deficit in drought‐prone areas, tree populations located at the driest …

Tree mortality is a key driver of forest dynamics and its occurrence is projected to increase in
the future due to climate change. Despite recent advances in our understanding of the …

It is noteworthy that the largest part of global vegetation biomass depends on a thin layer of
cells: the vascular cambium. Understanding the wood formation processes and relationships …
