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 …

Earth's forests face grave challenges in the Anthropocene, including hotter droughts
increasingly associated with widespread forest die-off events. But despite the vital …

Recent observations of elevated tree mortality following climate extremes, like heat and
drought, raise concerns about climate change risks to global forest health. We currently lack …

Central and South America (CSA) is a highly diverse region, both culturally and biologically.
It has one of the highest levels of biodiversity on the planet (Hoorn et al., 2010; Zador et al …

Tree mortality rates appear to be increasing in moist tropical forests (MTF s) with significant
carbon cycle consequences. Here, we review the state of knowledge regarding MTF tree …

The tropical forest carbon sink is known to be drought sensitive, but it is unclear which
forests are the most vulnerable to extreme events. Forests with hotter and drier baseline …

Drought events are increasing globally, and reports of consequent forest mortality are
widespread. However, due to a lack of a quantitative global synthesis, it is still not clear …

Structurally intact tropical forests sequestered about half of the global terrestrial carbon
uptake over the 1990s and early 2000s, removing about 15 per cent of anthropogenic …

Biodiversity contributes to the ecological and climatic stability of the Amazon Basin,, but is
increasingly threatened by deforestation and fire,. Here we quantify these impacts over the …

Tree mortality appears to be increasing in moist tropical forests, with potentially important
implications for global carbon and water cycles. Little is known about the drivers of tree …
