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 …

Drought has promoted large‐scale, insect‐induced tree mortality in recent years, with severe
consequences for ecosystem function, atmospheric processes, sustainable resources and …

Accumulating evidence highlights increased mortality risks for trees during severe drought,
particularly under warmer temperatures and increasing vapour pressure deficit (VPD) …

During drought, the tree subpopulations (such as size or vigour classes) that suffer
disproportionate mortality can be conceptually arrayed along a continuum defined by the …

Carbon (C) allocation plays a central role in tree responses to environmental changes. Yet,
fundamental questions remain about how trees allocate C to different sinks, for example …

Bark beetle infestation is a major driver of tree mortality that may be critical for forest
persistence under climate change and the forecasted increase of extreme heat and drought …

On-going climate change is increasing the risk of drought stress across large areas
worldwide. Such drought events decrease ecosystem productivity and have been …

Historical management practices could have a strong effect on the current status of forests
and therefore affect the potential for outbreaks of forest pests. We tested whether forest …

Higher temperatures and extreme drought events are promoting insect-driven tree mortality.
However, there is great uncertainty about the impact of extreme climatic variations on the …

Heat and drought affect plant chemical defenses and thereby plant susceptibility to pests
and pathogens. Monoterpenes are of particular importance for conifers as they play critical …
