TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the first global assessment of recent tree mortality attributed to drought and heat stress and identify key information gaps and scientific uncertainties that currently hinder our ability to predict tree mortality in response to climate change and emphasizes the need for a globally coordinated observation system.

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.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of wildfire frequency on the recovery at short and long-term of soil chemical and microbial properties and identifying the mechanisms underlying the recovery of these sites properties were determined.

TL;DR: The potential for delayed phenological development and reduced growth with higher temperatures and drought in tree species that are vulnerable to drought is demonstrated and potential mechanistic links to physiological stress responses are revealed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the response of the Scots pine to extreme climatic conditions, including scorching heat and drought, and linked these variables to climatic parameters, such as radial growth, branch length growth, architectural development and reproduction.
