This assessment provides input to the reauthorized National Integrated Drought Information
System (NIDIS) and the National Climate Assessment (NCA), and it establishes the scientific …

Recent world‐wide episodes of tree dieback have been attributed to increasing
temperatures and associated drought. Because these events are likely to become more …

Droughts are a rising concern for terrestrial ecosystems, particularly for forests where
drought‐induced reductions in tree growth and survival are reported. Biodiversity has long …

Purpose Droughts are expected to become more intense and frequent. Mixed forests can be
more resilient to extreme events, but are the individual trees in mixed forests also more …

The future performance of native tree species under climate change conditions is frequently
discussed, since increasingly severe and more frequent drought events are expected to …

Drought‐induced mortality and regional dieback of woody vegetation are reported from
numerous locations around the world. Yet within any one site, predicting which species are …

Understanding drought sensitivity of tree species and its intra-specific variation is required to
estimate the effects of climate change on forest productivity, carbon sequestration and tree …

Increasing heat and aridity in coming decades is expected to negatively impact tree growth
and threaten forest sustainability in dry areas. Maintaining low stand density has the …

Drought-triggered declines in forest productivity and associated die-off events have
increased considerably due to climate warming in the last decades. There is an increasing …

Drought-induced tree mortality has recently received considerable attention. Questions have
arisen over the necessary intensity and duration thresholds of droughts that are sufficient to …
