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 …

The frequency and severity of drought are expected to increase due to climate change;
therefore, selection of tree species for afforestation should consider drought resistance of the …

Extreme droughts are expected to increase in frequency and severity in many regions of the
world, threatening multiple ecosystem services provided by forests. Effective strategies to …

Extreme climate events (ECEs) such as severe droughts, heat waves, and late spring frosts
