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 …

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 …

Pulses of tree mortality caused by drought have been reported recently in forests around the
globe, but large-scale quantitative evidence is lacking for Europe. Analyzing high-resolution …

Climate is a potent selective force in natural populations, yet the importance of adaptation in
the response of plant species to past climate change has been questioned. As many species …

We review the evidence of how organisms and populations are currently responding to
