Climate change risks to global forest health: emergence of unexpected events of elevated tree mortality worldwide
Recent observations of elevated tree mortality following climate extremes, like heat and
drought, raise concerns about climate change risks to global forest health. We currently lack …

Underappreciated plant vulnerabilities to heat waves
With climate change, heat waves are becoming increasingly frequent, intense and broader
in spatial extent. However, while the lethal effects of heat waves on humans are well …

Tree mortality across biomes is promoted by drought intensity, lower wood density and higher specific leaf area
Drought events are increasing globally, and reports of consequent forest mortality are
widespread. However, due to a lack of a quantitative global synthesis, it is still not clear …

Five decades of observed daily precipitation reveal longer and more variable drought events across much of the western United States
F Zhang, JA Biederman… - Geophysical …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Multiple lines of evidence suggest climate change will result in increased precipitation
variability and consequently more frequent extreme events. These hydroclimatic changes …

Dual influence of climate change and anthropogenic activities on the spatiotemporal vegetation dynamics over the Qinghai‐Tibetan plateau from 1981 to 2015
Climate change and human activities have already caused degradation in a large fraction of
vegetation on the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau (QTP). Many studies report that climate variability …
