Meta-analysis Reveals that Hydraulic Traits Explain Cross-Species Patterns of Drought-Induced Tree Mortality across the Globe
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of species’ mortality rates across 475 species finds that species-specific mortality anomalies from community mortality rate in a given drought were associated with plant hydraulic traits, providing broad support for the hypothesis that hydraulic traits capture key mechanisms determining tree death.

The Threat of the Combined Effect of Biotic and Abiotic Stress Factors in Forestry Under a Changing Climate.
TL;DR: This review assesses the importance, impact, and mitigation strategies of climate change driven interactions between biotic and abiotic stresses in forestry and builds on models previously used to curb individual stresses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tree Mortality After a Hot Drought: Distinguishing Density-Dependent and -Independent Drivers and Why It Matters
TL;DR: Along with overall high levels of sapling survivorship, patterns suggest that Ashe juniper woodlands, despite having been relatively hard hit by the 2011 drought, are not particularly threatened by hot drought events, although some subordinate species may be.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of Drought on Foliar Water Uptake Capacity of Temperate Tree Species
TL;DR: Assessment of FWU-capacity in nine widely distributed key tree species from temperate regions and the effect of drought on FWU in temperate tree species, which potentially allows these species to partly reduce the effects of drought stress are recommended.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drought tolerance of a Pinus palustris plantation
TL;DR: Longleaf pine responded to drought treatment with greater stomatal control of plant water loss rather than adjustments in leaf area, the sapwood to leaf area ratio, or leaf water potential at the turgor loss point (ΨTLP).

Mechanisms of plant survival and mortality during drought: why do some plants survive while others succumb to drought?

TL;DR: A hydraulically based theory considering carbon balance and insect resistance that allowed development and examination of hypotheses regarding survival and mortality was developed, and incorporating this hydraulic framework may be effective for modeling plant survival andortality under future climate conditions.

TL;DR: The results quantify a trigger leading to rapid, drought-induced die-off of overstory woody plants at subcontinental scale and highlight the potential for such die-offs to be more severe and extensive for future global-change-type drought under warmer conditions.

On underestimation of global vulnerability to tree mortality and forest die‐off from hotter drought in the Anthropocene
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify ten contrasting perspectives that shape the vulnerability debate but have not been discussed collectively and present a set of global vulnerability drivers that are known with high confidence: (1) droughts eventually occur everywhere; (2) warming produces hotter Droughts; (3) atmospheric moisture demand increases nonlinearly with temperature during drought; (4) mortality can occur faster in hotter Drought, consistent with fundamental physiology; (5) shorter Drought can become lethal under warming, increasing the frequency of lethal Drought; and (6) mortality happens rapidly
