Abstract Background Wildfires in the Pacific Northwest (Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and
western Montana, USA) have been immense in recent years, capturing the attention of …

Although disturbances such as fire and native insects can contribute to natural dynamics of
forest health, exceptional droughts, directly and in combination with other disturbance …

Patterns, mechanisms, projections, and consequences of tree mortality and associated
broad‐scale forest die‐off due to drought accompanied by warmer temperatures—“hotter …

The frequency of severe droughts is increasing in many regions around the world as a result
of climate change 1–3. Droughts alter the structure and function of forests 4, 5. Site-and …

We synthesize insights from current understanding of drought impacts at stand‐to‐
biogeographic scales, including management options, and we identify challenges to be …

Drought and heat-induced tree mortality is accelerating in many forest biomes as a
consequence of a warming climate, resulting in a threat to global forests unlike any in …

Global temperature rise and extremes accompanying drought threaten forests, and their
associated climatic feedbacks,. Our ability to accurately simulate drought-induced forest …

The objective of this paper is to examine the sensitivity of fuel moisture to changes in
temperature and precipitation and explore the implications under a future climate. We use …

Model–data comparisons of plant physiological processes provide an understanding of
mechanisms underlying vegetation responses to climate. We simulated the physiology of a …
