The constant rise in the global temperature and unpredictable shifts in precipitation patterns
are two of the main effects of climate change. Therefore, there is an increasing amount of …

As climate changes in coming decades, ponderosa pine forest persistence may be
increasingly dictated by their regeneration. Sustained regeneration failure has been …

Elevated atmospheric CO 2 concentration is expected to increase leaf CO 2 assimilation
rates, thus promoting plant growth and increasing leaf area. It also decreases stomatal …

Structurally heterogeneous forest conditions provide diverse microclimates which can
support juvenile tree regeneration, survival, and growth. However, the extent to which …

The evolutionary dynamics of tree species are influenced by their specific climatic
environments, and their ability to persist is determined by adaptive strategies such as broad …

Juvenile tree survival will increasingly shape the persistence of ponderosa pine forests in
the western United States. In contrast to severe pulse disturbances that induce widespread …

The 2012–2016 California drought was the most severe in the state's recorded history,
contributing to the death of millions of trees. Through sampling 54 (0.25 ha) plots in northern …

Piñon pine-juniper woodlands are strongly influenced by water balance variation imparted
by variation in climate, landscape attributes, and tree stand characteristics. To elucidate how …

The 2012-2016 California drought was the most severe in the state's recorded history,
contributing to the death of millions of trees. While the effects of this drought on forests are …

Climate change possess a threat to forests and forestry. Drought has been identified as a
