Global convergence in the vulnerability of forests to drought

Brendan Choat, +25 more
- 29 Nov 2012 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors draw together published and unpublished data on the vulnerability of the transport system to drought-induced embolism for a large number of woody species, with a view to examining the likely consequences of climate change for forest biomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improved allometric models to estimate the aboveground biomass of tropical trees

Jérôme Chave, +23 more
- 01 Oct 2014 - 
TL;DR: This work analyzed a global database of directly harvested trees at 58 sites, spanning a wide range of climatic conditions and vegetation types, and found a pantropical model incorporating wood density, trunk diameter, and the variable E outperformed previously published models without height.
Journal ArticleDOI

The human footprint in the carbon cycle of temperate and boreal forests

Federico Magnani, +20 more
- 14 Jun 2007 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that the temporal dynamics following stand-replacing disturbances do indeed account for a very large fraction of the overall variability in forest carbon sequestration, and that mankind is ultimately controlling the carbon balance of temperate and boreal forests.
Journal ArticleDOI

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 multi-species synthesis of physiological mechanisms in drought-induced tree mortality

Henry D. Adams, +65 more
- 01 Sep 2017 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that, across multiple tree species, loss of xylem conductivity above 60% is associated with mortality, while carbon starvation is not universal, indicating that evidence supporting carbon starvation was not universal.
