Journal ArticleDOI

A. Park Williams,Craig D. Allen,Alison K. Macalady,Daniel Griffin,Connie A. Woodhouse,David M. Meko,Thomas W. Swetnam,Sara A. Rauscher,Richard Seager,Henri D. Grissino-Mayer,Jeffrey S. Dean,Edward R. Cook,C. Gangodagamage,Michael Cai,Nate G. McDowell +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived a forest drought-stress index (FDSI) for the southwestern United States using a comprehensive tree-ring data set representing AD 1000-2007, which is approximately equally influenced by the warm-season vapour-pressure deficit (largely controlled by temperature) and cold-season precipitation, together explaining 82% of the FDSI variability.

The evolution of desert vegetation in western north america
TL;DR: This article argued that nature is neutral and that man has no power to make the world a desert or a bloom of the deserts, and that "man has wrested from nature the power to change nature."

Late Pleistocene Vegetation and Degree of Pluvial Climatic Change in the Chihuahuan Desert
TL;DR: Uneven stocking of isolated peaks in the Chihuahuan Desert province with montane species suggests that long-distance transport of propagules, rather than former continuity, may account for the disjunct distributions of many species.
Influence of history and climate on New Mexico pinon-juniper woodlands.
Julio L. Betancourt,Elizabeth A. Pierson,Kate Aasen Rylander,Fairchild-Parks Ja,Jeffrey S. Dean +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce new perspectives about the influence of history and climate variability on southwestern woodlands and update research during the last five years, concluding that climatic variability influences key ecological processes such as masting behavior, recruitment, and mortality to produce vegetation change across a wide range of temporal and spatial scales.

TL;DR: Pollen analysis of two deep lacustrine cores under Mexico City indicates a series of moist-dry oscillations with longer trends of changing temperature, a climatic record which appears to extend as far back as early Wisconsin this paper.
