Structural overshoot of tree growth with climate variability and the global spectrum of drought-induced forest dieback
Summary (1 min read)
Summary
- 189 190 191 Figure 1. Quantitative, field-based observational studies of drought-induced tree mortality 192 that identify as drivers of drought alone (i.e. no cofactor) and co-drivers that interacted with 193 drought in forest types classified following Olson et al. (2001) biomes.
- There is increasing evidence that leaf area at both the tree and stand levels 322 responds to changes in water availability, but frequently with lagged responses (Bigler et al., 323 2007).
- Current rapid environmental 629 changes can, therefore, result in structural overshoot through the temporal mismatch of 630 resource requirements from resource availability at local to regional scales.
