Impact of emerging compound droughts on forests: A water supply and demand perspective
This review examines the physiological and ecological responses of trees to emerging compound droughts from a water demand and supply perspective, as well as the role of acclimation and consequences for ecosystem‐level functions. Abstract The intensification of climate change‐induced drought results in unprecedented tree and forest die‐offs worldwide ...
