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 …

BACKGROUND Forests have considerable potential to help mitigate human-caused climate
change and provide society with a broad range of cobenefits. Local, national, and …

ForestGEO is a network of scientists and long-term forest dynamics plots (FDPs) spanning
the Earth's major forest types. ForestGEO's mission is to advance understanding of the …

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 …

Literature related to the carbon cycle and climate contains contradictory results with regard
to whether agricultural practices increase or mitigate emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) …

Tropical forests are global centres of biodiversity and carbon storage. Many tropical
countries aspire to protect forest to fulfil biodiversity and climate mitigation policy targets, but …

Forests are the dominant terrestrial ecosystem on Earth. We review the environmental
factors controlling their structure and global distribution and evaluate their current and future …

Most of the planet's diversity is concentrated in the tropics, which includes many regions
undergoing rapid climate change. Yet, while climate‐induced biodiversity changes are …

The Earth's climate is determined by a number of complex connected physical, chemical and
biological processes occurring in the atmosphere, land and ocean. The radiative properties …

The carbon sink capacity of tropical forests is substantially affected by tree mortality.
However, the main drivers of tropical tree death remain largely unknown. Here we present a …
