Recurrent hot droughts cause persistent legacy effects in a temperate Scots Pine forest
Plant Biology, EarlyView.A series of hot drought events caused persistent legacy effects in a Scots Pine forest, with severe negative impacts on ecosystem carbon fluxes. Abstract Recent hot‐dry events have caused significant impacts and legacy effects in temperate ecosystems. Here, we investigate legacy effects of the 2018 hot drought on a Pinus sylvestris L.

Snow Cover Change as a Climate Indicator in Brunswick Peninsula, Patagonia
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2018 Snow cover changes are assessed for the Brunswick Peninsula in southern Patagonia (52.9°S to 53.5°S), located on the transition between the wet Pacific Ocean area and the drier leeward side of the Andes. We use the Normalized Difference Snow Index (NDSI)

Impact of emerging compound droughts on forests: A water supply and demand perspective
Plant Biology, EarlyView.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 ...

Decadal climate variability and increasing exposure of Chilean agriculture
Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 11, Issue 1, June 2026.Abstract Central Chile has undergone a steady shift from traditional annual crops to fruit orchards and vineyards, and a decline in the area dedicated to annual crops. This transition coincides with a decrease in precipitation and an increase in temperature.
