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 …

Widespread tree mortality following droughts has emerged as an environmentally and
economically devastating 'ecological surprise'. It is well established that tree physiology is …

Plant functional traits are powerful ecological tools, but the relationships between plant traits
and climate (or environmental variables more broadly) are often remarkably weak. This …

The response of forests to climate change depends in part on whether the photosynthetic
benefit from increased atmospheric CO2 (∆ Ca= future minus historic CO2) compensates for …

Classifying the diverse ways that plants respond to hydrologic stress into generalizable
'water‐use strategies' has long been an eco‐physiological research goal. While many …

Global warming is expected to exacerbate the duration and intensity of droughts in the
western United States, which may lead to increased tree mortality. A prevailing proximal …

The spatiotemporal dynamics of plant water sources are hidden and poorly understood. We
document water source use of Quercus garryana growing in Northern California on a profile …

With the development of Chinese economy, more and more attention has been paid to
environmental protection, the implementation of water price policy affects economic and …

The ability of forests to withstand, and recover from, acute drought stress is a critical
uncertainty regarding the impacts of climate change on the terrestrial carbon (C) cycle, but it …

Forests are a critical carbon sink and widespread tree mortality resulting from climate‐
induced drought stress has the potential to alter forests from a carbon sink to a source …
