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 …

We synthesize insights from current understanding of drought impacts at stand‐to‐
biogeographic scales, including management options, and we identify challenges to be …

Future anthropogenic-induced changes to the earth's climate will likely include increases in
temperature and changes in precipitation that will increase the frequency and severity of …

Greenhouse gas emissions have significantly altered global climate, and will continue to do
so in the future. Increases in the frequency, duration, and/or severity of drought and heat …

Much of California, US experienced a severe drought in 2012–2015 inciting a large tree
mortality event in the central and southern Sierra Nevada. We assessed causal agents and …

About one‐third of North America is forested. These forests are of incalculable value to
human society in terms of harvested resources and ecosystem services and are sensitive to …

Context Forest landscapes worldwide are shaped by abiotic drivers such as fire, windstorms,
and drought, but also by biotic drivers like insect pests and pathogens. Although the effects …

Natural disturbances play a key role in ecosystem dynamics and are important factors for
sustainable forest ecosystem management. Quantitative models are frequently employed to …

Climate change in the coming centuries will be characterized by interannual, decadal, and
multidecadal fluctuations superimposed on anthropogenic trends. Predicting ecological and …

Data points intensively sampling 46 North American biomes were used to predict the
geographic distribution of biomes from climate variables using the Random Forests …
