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 …

Climate change is a pervasive and growing global threat to biodiversity and ecosystems.
Here, we present the most up-to-date assessment of climate change impacts on biodiversity …

Trees are the living foundations on which most terrestrial biodiversity is built. Central to the
success of trees are their woody bodies, which connect their elevated photosynthetic …

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

Abstract Background Wildfires in the Pacific Northwest (Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and
western Montana, USA) have been immense in recent years, capturing the attention of …

Droughts occur naturally, but climate change has generally accelerated the hydrological
processes to make them set in quicker and become more intense, with many consequences …

Forests are currently a substantial carbon sink globally. Many climate change mitigation
strategies leverage forest preservation and expansion, but rely on forests storing carbon for …

Energy and water limitations of tree growth remain insufficiently understood at large
spatiotemporal scales, hindering model representation of interannual or longer-term …

Large projected increases in forest disturbance pose a major threat to future wood fiber
supply and carbon sequestration in the cold-limited, Canadian boreal forest ecosystem …

Forest vulnerability to drought is expected to increase under anthropogenic climate change,
