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

Multi‐year lags in tree drought recovery, termed 'drought legacy effects', are important for
understanding the impacts of drought on forest ecosystems, including carbon (C) cycle …

Severe droughts have the potential to reduce forest productivity and trigger tree mortality.
Most trees face several drought events during their life and therefore resilience to dry …

As forest demographics are altered by the global decline of old trees and reforestation
efforts, younger trees are expected to have an increasingly important influence on carbon …

Despite growing evidence that diverse forests play an important role in ecosystem
functioning, ensuring the provision of different ecosystem services, whether such diversity …

Resilience is a key concept in ecology and describes the capacity of an ecosystem to
maintain its state and recover from disturbances. Numerous metrics have been applied to …

Forecasted increase drought frequency and severity may drive worldwide declines in forest
productivity. Species‐level responses to a drier world are likely to be influenced by their …

The frequency and severity of drought are expected to increase due to climate change;
therefore, selection of tree species for afforestation should consider drought resistance of the …

Identifying the thresholds of drought that, if crossed, suppress vegetation functioning is vital
for accurate quantification of how land ecosystems respond to climate variability and …

Extreme droughts are expected to increase in frequency and severity in many regions of the
world, threatening multiple ecosystem services provided by forests. Effective strategies to …
