Drought is causing increasingly severe and widespread negative impacts on forest gross primary productivity (GPP), but modelling these impacts over large spatial scales with remote sensing data is challenging. It is especially problematic in forests that have lower spectral sensitivity to drought compared to other ecos...
The rising frequency and intensity of extreme droughts across the Amazon raises uncertainty about the capacity of tropical forests to adjust to future climate. Here, we combined the severe 2023 El Niño drought with a multi-decadal throughfall-exclusion experiment to compare eco-physiological resilience between pre-expo...
Forests regulate climate and sustain biodiversity, but their resilience is increasingly threatened by drought-induced hydraulic failure, when xylem water transport is impaired by embolism. A critical but poorly constrained determinant of this risk largely due to limited observations of deep root water uptake is the amo...
Drought propagates from atmospheric water deficits into root-zone soil–moisture stress, yet the extent to which warming will alter the severity and speed of this transition in cold, semi-arid regions remains poorly quantified, and most propagation studies rely on a single linkage measure. This study assessed meteorolog...
The study explores the drought effects on boreal peatland forests, a problem that has not been sufficiently addressed to date. Deeper knowledge of how these stands respond to drought is essential for refining forest management practices and improving climate modeling. We conducted a holistic investigation of the ecop...
The impacts of biotic and abiotic disturbances, such as bark beetles and wind storms, on European forests are likely to increase due to climate change, and forest management must adapt accordingly. Productive coniferous tree species, such as Norway spruce, are particularly vulnerable to these effects. Diverse forest ma...
