Tree mortality rates have been increasing globally with mountainous regions experiencing
higher temperatures and impacts from the expansion and intensification of pests and …

Snow cover dynamics (ie depth, duration and variability) are dominant drivers of ecological
processes during winter. For overwintering species, changes and gradients in snow cover …

Forest persistence in regions impacted by increasing water and temperature stress will
depend upon species' ability to either rapidly adjust to novel conditions or migrate to track …

The spatial patterns of trees are a defining feature of forests, yet because of the long lifespan
of trees, the full origins of these spatial patterns remain unclear. We used 15.6 ha of a …

Climate is one of the key drivers of the plant community's structure and trends. However, the
regional vegetation-climate features in the ecotone have not yet been sufficiently studied …

Abstract Background and Aims Hotter drought-and biotically driven tree mortality are
expected to increase with climate change in much of the western USA, and species …

Tree mortality events across the globe have been associated with rising temperatures and
altered disturbance regimes. Using fire scars, stand age structure, and tree-ring data, we …

Plant species life history strategies are described by functional variation spanning an
acquisitive and conservative resource use continuum. Specialist species can exhibit traits …

Large-scale tree mortality events are increasing in frequency and severity across the globe.
Given that hotter and drier droughts are projected to continue with climate change, the …

Forest persistence under global change will depend upon the capacity of species to persist
in situ by tolerating water and temperature stress, rapidly adjust to novel conditions or …
