TRY plant trait database : Enhanced coverage and open access

Jens Kattge, +754 more
- 01 Jan 2020 - 
TL;DR: The extent of the trait data compiled in TRY is evaluated and emerging patterns of data coverage and representativeness are analyzed to conclude that reducing data gaps and biases in the TRY database remains a key challenge and requires a coordinated approach to data mobilization and trait measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI

A synthesis of radial growth patterns preceding tree mortality

Maxime Cailleret, +73 more
- 01 Apr 2017 - 
TL;DR: The results imply that growth-based mortality algorithms may be a powerful tool for predicting gymnosperm mortality induced by chronic stress, but not necessarily so for angiosperms and in case of intense drought or bark-beetle outbreaks.
Journal ArticleDOI

Low growth resilience to drought is related to future mortality risk in trees

Lucía DeSoto, +36 more
- 28 Jan 2020 - 
TL;DR: It is found that trees that died during drought were less resilient to previous dry events compared to surviving conspecifics, but the resilience strategies differ between angiosperms and gymnosperms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Temperature variation among mangrove latitudinal range limits worldwide

Katrien Quisthoudt, +8 more
- 15 Aug 2012 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived six parameters from monthly mean sea surface temperature (SST) and air temperature (AT) and investigated whether the variation in these temperature parameters is related to the position of the limit, specific temperature requirements of congeneric species and/or to aridity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early-warning signals of individual tree mortality based on annual radial growth

Maxime Cailleret, +53 more
- 08 Jan 2019 - 
TL;DR: This analysis provides a robust method for estimating early-warning signals of tree mortality based on annual growth data and finds a gradual increase in inter-annual growth variability and a decrease in growth synchrony in the last ∼20 years before mortality of gymnosperms, irrespective of the cause of mortality.
