This article reviews current drought effects on environmental systems. It stresses the need
for considering environmental drought as a relevant type to be included in drought …

Widespread tree mortality following droughts has emerged as an environmentally and
economically devastating 'ecological surprise'. It is well established that tree physiology is …

Climate change-driven increases in drought frequency and severity could compromise forest
ecosystems and the terrestrial carbon sink,–. While the impacts of single droughts on forests …

Severe droughts have the potential to reduce forest productivity and trigger tree mortality.
Most trees face several drought events during their life and therefore resilience to dry …

Climate change can lead to the simultaneous occurrence of extreme droughts and heat
waves increasing the frequency of compound events with unknown impacts on forests. Here …

Forests cover about one-third of Europe's surface and their growth is essential for climate
protection through carbon sequestration and many other economic, environmental, and …

Forecasted increase drought frequency and severity may drive worldwide declines in forest
productivity. Species‐level responses to a drier world are likely to be influenced by their …

Tree mortality is a key factor influencing forest functions and dynamics, but our
understanding of the mechanisms leading to mortality and the associated changes in tree …

Drought-induced tree mortality has been observed globally and is expected to increase
under climate change scenarios, with large potential consequences for the terrestrial carbon …

Drought‐induced tree mortality is projected to increase due to climate change, which will
have manifold ecological and societal impacts including the potential to weaken or reverse …
