The increase in frequency and intensity of droughts due to climate change might threaten
forests under stress levels causing dieback and mortality episodes. Thus, deciphering how …

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 …

How drought affects tree and stand growth is an old question, but is getting unprecedented
relevance in view of climate change. Stress effects related to drought have been mostly …

Previous favorable climate conditions stimulate tree growth making some forests more
vulnerable to hotter droughts. This so-called structural overshoot may contribute to forest …

Forecasted increase drought frequency and severity may drive worldwide declines in forest
productivity. Species‐level responses to a drier world are likely to be influenced by their …

The negative impacts of drought on forest growth and productivity last for several years
generating legacies, although the factors that determine why such legacies vary across sites …

Climate warming is predicted to amplify drought stress. Thus, it is important to understand
how coexisting plant species respond to severe droughts. Here we study how seven …

The understanding of the impact of extreme climatic events under a global climate change
scenario is crucial for the accurate forecast of future plant community dynamics. We have …

Drought-triggered declines in forest productivity and associated die-off events have
increased considerably due to climate warming in the last decades. There is an increasing …

Drought constrains tree growth in regions with seasonal water deficit where growth decline
can lead to tree death. This has been observed in regions such as the western …
