Low growth resilience to drought is related to future mortality risk in trees
L. Desoto, M. Cailleret, et al.
This study examines how severe droughts impact forest productivity and tree mortality. Researchers analyzed tree-ring data to uncover that dead trees exhibited less resilience to past droughts compared to their living counterparts. Insights from this research conducted by Lucía DeSoto, Maxime Cailleret, Frank Sterck, and others reveal critical differences in drought resilience strategies between angiosperms and gymnosperms, paving the way for better predictions of drought-induced mortality.
