A global overview of drought and heat-induced tree mortality reveals emerging climate change risks for forests

Craig D. Allen, +19 more
- 05 Feb 2010 - 
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.
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

Climatic and human influences on fire regimes in ponderosa pine forests in the Colorado Front Range.

Thomas T. Veblen, +2 more
- 01 Aug 2000 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a study of fire history along an elevational gradient from -1830 to 2800 m in ponderosa pine forests in the northern Colorado Front Range and determined fire-scar dates from 525 partial cross sections from living and dead trees at 41 sample sites.
Journal ArticleDOI

Disturbance regime and disturbance interactions in a Rocky Mountain subalpine forest

Thomas T. Veblen, +5 more
- 01 Jan 1994 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the spatial and temporal patterns of fire, snow avalanches and spruce beetle outbreaks were investigated in Marvine Lakes Valley in the Colorado Rocky Mountains in forests of Picea engelmannii, Abies lasiocarpa, Pseudotsuga menziesii and Populus tremuloides.
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.
