Abstract:
Large trees in the tropics are reportedly more vulnerable to droughts than their smaller neighbours. This pattern is of interest due to what it portends for forest structure, timber production, carbon sequestration and multiple other values given that intensified El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events are expected to increase the frequency and intensity of droughts in the Amazon region. What remains unclear is what characteristics of large trees render them especially vulnerable to drought-induced mortality and how this vulnerability changes with forest degradation. Using a large-scale, lo

Abstract:
Understanding the vulnerability of trees to drought-induced mortality is key to predicting the fate of forests in a future climate with more frequent and intense droughts, although the underlying mechanisms are difficult to study in adult trees. Here, we explored the dynamic changes of water relations and limits of hydraulic function in dying adults of Norway spruce (Picea abies L.) during the progression of the record-breaking 2018 Central European drought. In trees on the trajectory to drought-induced mortality, we observed rapid, nonlinear declines of xylem pressure that commenced at the ea

Abstract:
Global warming is altering climate patterns and the frequency and magnitude of heat and drought events affecting ecosystems worldwide. One of the effects of these changes is tree mortality driven by heat and drought, which have effects in forest ecosystem functions, services and biodiversity. Therefore, systematic observations and georeferenced data on tree mortality is a fundamental prerequisite for a more comprehensive understanding of the complex interactions between climate and forests. Tree mortality is a complex process for which literature presents major knowledge gaps, making predictio

Abstract:
Understanding the drivers of drought-induced tree mortality remains a significant scientific challenge. Here, we investigated an unexpected mortality event of Nothofagus dombeyi (Mirb.) Oerst. following the 2014–15 drought in a Valdivian rainforest, Argentina. Our focus was on long-term growth trend differences between vital and dead trees, and how the mixing of species in tree neighbourhoods drives tree growth during drought. The inter-annual variation of basal area increments of vital and 2014–15-dead N. dombeyi trees showed a similar pattern through the 1930–2015 period, while the climate–g

Abstract:
Drought-induced tree mortality, which rapidly alters forest ecosystem composition, structure, and function, as well as the feedbacks between the biosphere and climate, has occurred worldwide over the past few decades, and is expected to increase pervasively as climate change progresses. The objectives of this review are to (1) highlight the likely ecological consequences of drought-induced tree mortality, (2) synthesize the hypotheses related to drought-induced tree mortality, (3) discuss the implications of current knowledge for modeling tree mortality processes under climate change, and (4)

Abstract. The Amazon rainforest plays a crucial role in global carbon storage, but a minor destabilization of these forests could result in considerable carbon loss. Among the external factors affecting vegetation, elevated CO2 (eCO2) levels have long been anticipated to have positive impacts on vegetation, including the direct enhancement of both photosynthesis and productivity and increasing water use efficiency. However, the overall impact of eCO2 on the net carbon balance, especially concerning tree-mortality-induced carbon loss and recovery following extreme drought events, has remained e

Drought-induced tree mortality is an emerging global phenomenon that appears related to climate change and rising temperatures in particular, and may be an early indication of vegetation change. However, vegetation response to climate change is uncertain, particularly for future novel climates. Notably, no current models of vegetation change attempt to mechanistically predict plant mortality, and in particular, mortality of trees, which exerts strong influences on ecological function.

Abstract:
Worldwide forest die-off events have been observed in a number of forest biomes due to severe droughts, rising global temperatures and associated increased vapour pressure deficit (VPD). If drought duration or severity increases with rising temperatures and increased VPD, all forest biomes may be increasingly vulnerable to drought-induced mortality. Despite the importance of forests in the biosphere and the significant potential consequences of forest die-offs, the mechanisms underpinning drought-induced tree mortality are poorly understood.

Abstract:
<p dir="ltr">This chapter addresses how warming affects carbon uptake and mortality of tropical forest trees. Net carbon uptake on Barro Colorado Island (BCI) decreases above ~31°C. Leaf-level measurements indicate that this decrease is not caused by heat effects on the photosynthetic machinery, but by stomatal closure when air gets drier with warming. The temperature response of photosynthesis is thus effectively an atmospheric drought response. BCI species differ in their sensitivity to drought, and their hydraulic properties will influence how warming will affect their carbon balance

Moisture stored in live and dead vegetation acts as a regulator on fire behaviour and area burned. Climate change is altering the distribution of live and dead fuels in forests through drought and insect-induced mortality and simultaneously making dead fuels more flammable because of decreasing fuel moisture. These system changes, both of which are driven by increasing temperature, have the potential to increase the heat flux from combustion, contributing to an increased risk of fires in affected areas becoming plume-dominated.
