Drought-related tree mortality has become a major concern worldwide due to its pronounced
negative impacts on the functioning and sustainability of forest ecosystems. However, our …

Current policy is driving renewed impetus to restore forests to return ecological function,
protect species, sequester carbon and secure livelihoods. Here we assess the contribution …

Drought‐induced tree mortality may increase with ongoing climate change. Unraveling the
links between stem hydraulics and mortality thresholds, and the effects of intraspecific …

Enriched planting of native tree species in monoculture plantation forests is a commonly
recommended forest practice. However, its effect on various ecological processes is …

Enhancing tree diversity may be important to fostering resilience to drought‐related climate
extremes. So far, little attention has been given to whether tree diversity can increase the …

In recent year, widespread declines of Populus bolleana Lauche trees (P. bolleana, which
dieback from the top down) and Haloxylon ammodendron shrubs (H. ammodendron, which …

Turgor loss point (πtlp) has been suggested to be a key trait for drought resistance in woody
species. In herbaceous grassland species, the role of πtlp for species drought survival has …

Subtropical tree species may experience severe drought stress due to variable rainfall under
future climates. However, the capacity to restore hydraulic function post-drought might differ …

Climate change results in the habitat loss of many conifer tree species and jeopardizes
species biodiversity and forest ecological functions. Delineating suitable habitats for tree …

A growing body of evidence highlights the occurrence of increased widespread tree
mortality during climate change-associated severe droughts; however, in situ long-term …
