Mechanisms of woody-plant mortality under rising drought, CO2 and vapour pressure deficit
Drought-associated woody-plant mortality has been increasing in most regions with multi-
decadal records and is projected to increase in the future, impacting terrestrial climate …

Strategies of tree species to adapt to drought from leaf stomatal regulation and stem embolism resistance to root properties
Z Chen, S Li, X Wan, S Liu - Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 - frontiersin.org
Considerable evidences highlight the occurrence of increasing widespread tree mortality as
a result of global climate change-associated droughts. However, knowledge about the …

Addressing controversies in the xylem embolism resistance–vessel diameter relationship
Although xylem embolism is a key process during drought‐induced tree mortality, its
relationship to wood anatomy remains debated. While the functional link between bordered …

Lack of hydraulic recovery as a cause of post‐drought foliage reduction and canopy decline in European beech
European beech (Fagus sylvatica) was among the most affected tree species during the
severe 2018 European drought. It not only suffered from instant physiological stress but also …

European beech dieback after premature leaf senescence during the 2018 drought in northern Switzerland
During the particularly severe hot summer drought in 2018, widespread premature leaf
senescence was observed in several broadleaved tree species in Central Europe …

A first assessment of canopy cover loss in Germany's forests after the 2018–2020 drought years
Central Europe was hit by several unusually strong periods of drought and heat between
2018 and 2020. These droughts affected forest ecosystems. Cascading effects with bark …

Networking the forest infrastructure towards near real-time monitoring–a white paper
Forests account for nearly 90% of the world's terrestrial biomass in the form of carbon and
they support 80% of the global biodiversity. To understand the underlying forest dynamics …
