Resilience is a fundamental concept for vegetation health. The increasing drought frequency
and severity may pose severe threat to vegetation resilience. However, it is still not clear …

Understanding how trees prioritize carbon gain at the cost of drought vulnerability under
severe drought conditions is crucial for predicting which genetic groups and individuals will …

Recently, forests in the Tianshan Mountains have shown a marked decline in growth and an
increased mortality rate because of the more frequent and severe effects of extreme drought …

The stability of monocultural, even-aged spruce forests at lower altitudes in Central Europe
is seriously threatened by the prospects of global climate change. The thermostability and …

Despite recent advances in our understanding of drought impacts on tree functioning, we
lack knowledge about the dynamic responses of mature trees to recurrent drought stress. At …

Rear‐edge tree populations are experiencing a combination of higher temperatures and
more intense droughts that might push individuals beyond their tolerance limits. This trend …

Extreme drought events reduce the productivity of forest ecosystems. One approach for
estimating the effects of drought on forests is by assessing their resilience. The objective of …

In recent decades, the global climate has changed significantly. The climate in Northwest
China became warm-wet, especially in the Tianshan Mountains. In order to explore the …

Climate change has had a widespread and profound impact on global temperature and
precipitation patterns, especially in semi-arid areas. Plant δ13C and iWUE indicate the trade …

The physiological structure and growth of trees in extreme environments (freezing
temperatures, prolonged drought, wildfires, pest infestations, and diseases) can be inhibited …
