Deforestation is widely studied throughout the world. However, a less evident issue is the
effect of climate change and drought on remnants of native forests. The objective of this work …

A widespread increase in forest cover is underway in northern Mediterranean forests
because of land abandonment and decreased wood demand, but the resilience of these …

Drought is one of the key natural hazards impacting net primary production and tree growth
in forest ecosystems. Nonetheless, tree species show different responses to drought events …

Several dieback episodes triggered by droughts are revealing the high vulnerability of
Mediterranean forests, manifested as declines in growth, increased defoliation, and rising …

Forest decline, attributed to increased aridity under global climate change, has been
observed with rising frequency worldwide. One of the knowledge gaps making its spatially …

The role of species diversity on ecosystem resistance in the face of strong environmental
fluctuations has been addressed from both theoretical and experimental viewpoints to reveal …

Climate models predict increases in drought conditions in many parts of the tropics. Yet the
response of tropical forests to drought remains highly uncertain, especially with regards to …

Large‐scale changes in forest structure and ecological function throughout western North
America have led to increased frequency, size, and severity of wildfires. The US Forest …

Abstract The Mediterranean-type Ecosystems of Central Chile is one of the most threatened
regions in South America by global change, particularly evidenced by the historical …

High levels of species diversity hamper current understanding of how tropical forests may
respond to environmental change. In the tropics, water availability is a leading driver of the …
