Abstract Purpose of Review Despite the rapidly increasing use of resilience indices to
analyze responses of trees and forests to disturbance events, there is so far no common …

Understanding the impacts of extreme drought on forest productivity requires a
comprehensive assessment of tree and forest resilience. However, current approaches to …

Forest dieback caused by drought‐induced tree mortality has been observed world‐wide.
Forecasting which trees in which locations are vulnerable to drought‐induced mortality is …

The resilience of forests to drought events has become a major natural resource
sustainability concern, especially in response to climate change. Yet, little is known about …

Aim The intensity and frequency of drought have increased considerably during recent
decades in some Northern Hemisphere forested areas, and future climate warming could …

Severe droughts have the potential to reduce forest productivity and trigger tree mortality.
Most trees face several drought events during their life and therefore resilience to dry …

Increasing frequency and intensity of drought extremes associated with global change are a
key challenge for forest ecosystems. Consequently, the quantification of drought effects on …

Forecasted increase drought frequency and severity may drive worldwide declines in forest
productivity. Species‐level responses to a drier world are likely to be influenced by their …

Climate change is challenging forestry management and practices. Among other things, tree
species with the ability to cope with more extreme climate conditions have to be identified …

Tree species display a wide variety of water‐use strategies, growth rates and capacity to
tolerate drought. However, if we want to forecast species capacity to cope with increasing …
