Drought predisposes forest trees to bark beetle‐induced mortality, but the physiological
mechanisms remain unclear. While drought‐induced water and carbon limitations have …

Hydroclimate volatility refers to sudden, large and/or frequent transitions between very dry
and very wet conditions. In this Review, we examine how hydroclimate volatility is …

Woodlands across the globe have expanded in recent centuries in response to shifts in
climate, land use, and disturbance patterns, but are expected to be particularly vulnerable to …

As the future climate becomes hotter or drier, forests may be exposed to more frequent or
severe droughts. To inform efforts to ensure resilient forests, it is critical to know which …

Tree thinning and the application of prescribed surface fire are widespread forest restoration
strategies used to regain ecological structure and function throughout dry forests of the …

Mites are among the most common associates of bark beetles and they can influence the
ecology and microbial composition within bark beetle-colonized trees. The pinyon pine …

Persistent drought conditions since the early 2000s have increased forest susceptibility to
disturbances such as insect outbreaks, wildfire, and hydraulic failure across the …
