Emerging signals of declining forest resilience under climate change
Forest ecosystems depend on their capacity to withstand and recover from natural and
anthropogenic perturbations (that is, their resilience) 1. Experimental evidence of sudden …

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 …

Widespread spring phenology effects on drought recovery of Northern Hemisphere ecosystems
The time required for an ecosystem to recover from severe drought is a key component of
ecological resilience. The phenology effects on drought recovery are, however, poorly …

Temperature extremes of 2022 reduced carbon uptake by forests in Europe
The year 2022 saw record breaking temperatures in Europe during both summer and fall.

Drought‐induced increase in tree mortality and corresponding decrease in the carbon sink capacity of Canada's boreal forests from 1970 to 2020
Canada's boreal forests, which occupy approximately 30% of boreal forests worldwide, play
an important role in the global carbon budget. However, there is little quantitative information …

Ghosts of the past: how drought legacy effects shape forest functioning and carbon cycling
SA Kannenberg, CR Schwalm… - Ecology letters, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Multi‐year lags in tree drought recovery, termed 'drought legacy effects', are important for
understanding the impacts of drought on forest ecosystems, including carbon (C) cycle …

Contrasting resistance and resilience to extreme drought and late spring frost in five major European tree species
Extreme climate events (ECEs) such as severe droughts, heat waves, and late spring frosts
are rare but exert a paramount role in shaping tree species distributions. The frequency of …

Temporal trade-off between gymnosperm resistance and resilience increases forest sensitivity to extreme drought
The frequency and intensity of droughts have increased over the decades, leading to
increased forest decline. The response of forest to drought can be evaluated by both its …
