Higher tree diversity is linked to higher tree mortality [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2022 SignificanceDespite a significant amount of recent research describing how tree species diversity improves forest productivity, few studies examine how tree diversity affects tree mortality, which is a key ecosystem function that drives succession, composition, and competition. Using a plot network from across Canada and the United States, here we show

Impact of an Extremely Dry Period on Tree Defoliation and Tree Mortality in Serbia [PDF]
Plants, 2022 This paper presents research results on forest decline in Serbia. The results were obtained through monitoring defoliation of 34 tree species at 130 sample plots during the period from 2004 to 2018. This research aimed to determine whether the occurrence

The Fire and Tree Mortality Database, for empirical modeling of individual tree mortality after fire. [PDF]
Sci Data, 2020 AbstractWildland fires have a multitude of ecological effects in forests, woodlands, and savannas across the globe. A major focus of past research has been on tree mortality from fire, as trees provide a vast range of biological services. We assembled a database of individual-tree records from prescribed fires and wildfires in the United States.

Early-Warning Signals of Individual Tree Mortality Based on Annual Radial Growth [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Tree mortality is a key driver of forest dynamics and its occurrence is projected to increase in the future due to climate change. Despite recent advances in our understanding of the physiological mechanisms leading to death, we still lack robust ...

Towards a global understanding of tree mortality [PDF]
new phytologistRates of tree mortality are increasing globally, with implications for forests and climate. Yet, how and why these trends vary globally remain unknown. Developing a comprehensive assessment of global tree mortality will require systematically integrating data from ground-based long-term forest monitoring with large-scale remote sensing. We surveyed the

Positive Drought Feedbacks Increase Tree Mortality Risk in Dry Woodlands of the US Southwest [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionGlobal changes in temperature and aridity are increasing the frequency of extreme drought events. Such changes can have pronounced impacts on dryland ecosystems, which exist at the margins of plant physiological tolerances.
