The interplay of the tree and stand-level processes mediate drought-induced forest dieback: evidence from complementary remote sensing and tree-ring approaches
Drought-induced forest dieback can lead to a tipping point in community dominance, but the
coupled response at the tree and stand-level response has not been properly addressed …
