BACKGROUND Forest dynamics arise from the interplay of chronic drivers and transient
disturbances with the demographic processes of recruitment, growth, and mortality. The …

We review science‐based adaptation strategies for western North American (wNA) forests
that include restoring active fire regimes and fostering resilient structure and composition of …

Forest ecosystems are strongly impacted by continuing climate change and increasing
disturbance activity, but how forest dynamics will respond remains highly uncertain. Here …

Intensifying wildfire activity and climate change can drive rapid forest compositional shifts. In
boreal North America, black spruce shapes forest flammability and depends on fire for …

Implementation of wildfire‐and climate‐adaptation strategies in seasonally dry forests of
western North America is impeded by numerous constraints and uncertainties. After more …

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 …

Climate change is expected to increase the frequency and severity of droughts. These
events, which can cause significant perturbations of terrestrial ecosystems and potentially …

Climate change is altering the frequency and severity of drought events. Recent evidence
indicates that drought may produce legacy effects on soil microbial communities. However, it …

Ecosystems are dynamic systems with complex responses to environmental variation. In
response to pervasive stressors of changing climate and disturbance regimes, many …

The cryosphere (including, snow, glaciers, permafrost, lake and river ice) is an integral
element of high mountain regions, which are home to roughly 10% of the global population …
