Ongoing climate change is modifying climatic conditions worldwide, with a trend towards
drier conditions in most regions. Vegetation will respond to these changes, eventually …

Patterns, mechanisms, projections, and consequences of tree mortality and associated
broad‐scale forest die‐off due to drought accompanied by warmer temperatures—“hotter …

Abstract Information about changes in land use and land cover is useful to address issues
related to drylands management, as well as to support decision-making related to the …

Drought is a complex natural phenomenon that can lead to reduced water supplies and can
consequently have substantial effects on agriculture and socioeconomic activities that cause …

Tropical East Asia is home to over one billion people and faces massive human impacts
from its rising population and rapid economic growth. It has already lost more than two-thirds …

Episodes of forest mortality attributed to extreme climate variability (eg droughts, heatwaves)
associated with climate change are increasingly reported in most biomes. The severity and …

Significant changes in the composition of tree species have been observed in various
forests worldwide. We hypothesised that these changes might result from variable …

Solar-induced fluorescence (SIF) provides an exciting opportunity for quantifying terrestrial
gross primary production (GPP); however, little attention has been paid to subtropical …

The impact of human activities on soil carbon (C) storage in tropical forests has aroused
wide concern during the past decades, because these ecosystems play a key role in …

Tropical forests have long been thought to be in stable state, but recent insights indicate that
global change is leading to shifts in forest dynamics and species composition. These shifts …
