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

Increasing drought frequency and severity in a warming climate threaten forest ecosystems
with widespread tree deaths. Canopy structure is important in regulating tree mortality during …

Climate change uncertainty poses serious challenges to conservation efforts. One emerging
conservation strategy is to identify and conserve climate change refugia: areas relatively …

Multi-year droughts in Mediterranean climates may shift the water balance, that is, the
partitioning rule of precipitation across runoff, evapotranspiration, and sub-surface storage …

We used Landsat-based measures of annual evapotranspiration (ET) to explore the effects
of wildfires on vegetation water use across California's Sierra Nevada. Wildfires decreased …

Global biodiversity loss and ecosystem services are significantly impacted by vegetation
stress and environmental degradation. The study evaluates vegetation dynamics and long …

We assessed the response of densely forested watersheds with little apparent annual water
limitation to forest disturbance and climate variability, by studying how past wildfires …

We investigated the potential magnitude and duration of forest evapotranspiration (ET)
decreases resulting from forest‐thinning treatments and wildfire in west‐slope watersheds of …

Water availability in mountain forests affects vegetation response to drought, which in turn
changes evapotranspiration (ET). We investigated water-balance indicators based on …

Despite much interest in relationships among carbon and water in forests, few studies
assess how carbon accumulation scales with water use in forested watersheds with varied …
