Drought-associated woody-plant mortality has been increasing in most regions with multi-
decadal records and is projected to increase in the future, impacting terrestrial climate …

Climate change is expected to drive increased tree mortality through drought, heat stress,
and insect attacks, with manifold impacts on forest ecosystems. Yet, climate‐induced tree …

Global forests are experiencing rising temperatures and more severe droughts, with
consistently dire forecasts for negative future impacts. Current research on the physiological …

Plant hydraulics is crucial for assessing the plants' capacity to extract and transport water
from the soil up to their aerial organs. Along with their capacity to exchange water between …

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

This essay discusses some of the issues involved in the identification and predictions of
hydrological models given some calibration data. The reasons for the incompleteness of …

The extreme drought event that occurred in Western Europe during 2003 highlighted the
need to understand the key processes that may allow trees and stands to overcome such …

Drought‐induced tree mortality has major impacts on ecosystem carbon and water cycles,
and is expected to increase in forests across the globe with climate change. A large body of …

Model–data comparisons of plant physiological processes provide an understanding of
mechanisms underlying vegetation responses to climate. We simulated the physiology of a …

Natural disturbances play a key role in ecosystem dynamics and are important factors for
sustainable forest ecosystem management. Quantitative models are frequently employed to …
