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 …

Climate change is expected to increase the frequency and severity of droughts. These
events, which can cause significant perturbations of terrestrial ecosystems and potentially …

Evidence exists that tree mortality is accelerating in some regions of the tropics,, with
profound consequences for the future of the tropical carbon sink and the global …

Tree mortality during global‐change‐type drought is usually attributed to xylem dysfunction,
but as climate change increases the frequency of extreme heat events, it is necessary to …

Climate change can lead to the simultaneous occurrence of extreme droughts and heat
waves increasing the frequency of compound events with unknown impacts on forests. Here …

Forests are increasingly threatened by climate-change-fuelled cycles of drought, dieback
and wildfires. However, for reasons that remain incompletely understood, some forest stands …

During the particularly severe hot summer drought in 2018, widespread premature leaf
senescence was observed in several broadleaved tree species in Central Europe …

Extreme weather and climate events have direct impacts on ecosystems and can further
trigger ecosystem disturbances, often having impacts that last longer than the event's …

Abstract Ecosystems in the North American Arctic-Boreal Zone (ABZ) experience a diverse
set of disturbances associated with wildfire, permafrost dynamics, geomorphic processes …

California operates a large forest carbon offsets program that credits carbon stored in forests
across the continental United States and parts of coastal Alaska. These credits can be sold …
