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 …

Trees are the living foundations on which most terrestrial biodiversity is built. Central to the
success of trees are their woody bodies, which connect their elevated photosynthetic …

Chapter 2, building on prior assessments1, provides a global assessment of the observed
impacts and projected risks of climate change to terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems …

Forests are a substantial terrestrial carbon sink, but anthropogenic changes in land use and
climate have considerably reduced the scale of this system. Remote-sensing estimates to …

Chapter 2, building on prior assessments, provides a global assessment of the observed
impacts and projected risks of climate change to terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems …

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 …

The sustainability of life on Earth is under increasing threat due to human-induced climate
change. This perilous change in the Earth's climate is caused by increases in carbon dioxide …

Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological
characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect …

The tropical forest carbon sink is known to be drought sensitive, but it is unclear which
forests are the most vulnerable to extreme events. Forests with hotter and drier baseline …

Structurally intact tropical forests sequestered about half of the global terrestrial carbon
uptake over the 1990s and early 2000s, removing about 15 per cent of anthropogenic …
