Mechanisms of woody-plant mortality under rising drought, CO2 and vapour pressure deficit
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 …

Hanging by a thread? Forests and drought
Trees are the living foundations on which most terrestrial biodiversity is built. Central to the
success of trees are their woody bodies, which connect their elevated photosynthetic …

[HTML][HTML] A first assessment of the impact of the extreme 2018 summer drought on Central European forests
Abstract In 2018, Central Europe experienced one of the most severe and long-lasting
summer drought and heat wave ever recorded. Before 2018, the 2003 millennial drought …

Excess forest mortality is consistently linked to drought across Europe
Pulses of tree mortality caused by drought have been reported recently in forests around the
globe, but large-scale quantitative evidence is lacking for Europe. Analyzing high-resolution …
