Mutually inclusive mechanisms of drought-induced tree mortality

Peter Hajek et al.

Summary: This study examines the mechanisms of tree mortality induced by drought events in Central Europe and the influence of tree traits and neighborhood composition on individual mortality risk. It finds that hydraulic failure and carbon starvation are important mechanisms, and that neighborhood interactions and tree height also play a role. The findings highlight the need for a holistic approach to understand and predict drought-induced tree mortality.

Developing Tree Mortality Models Using Bayesian Modeling Approach

Lu Xie et al.

Summary: This study developed tree mortality models for Prince Rupprecht larch, taking into account spatial correlations and climate. The models accurately predicted mortality at different ecological scales and identified factors such as diameter, precipitation, and temperature difference that significantly correlated with tree mortality.

Mixing increases drought exposure through a faster growth in beech, but not in oak

Kristoffel Jacobs et al.

Summary: Promoting mixed forests can increase tree growth, but it may also lead to higher drought risks for faster-growing trees. European beech trees in mixed stands grow faster and have higher drought exposure, while oak trees show no difference in growth and drought exposure between pure and mixed stands.

Regional height growth models for Scots pine in Poland

Jaroslaw Socha et al.

Summary: Site productivity is crucial for tree growth resource availability, with site index commonly used as an indirect proxy. Developing regional models helps determine forest growth and site index accurately, highlighting the importance of considering the natural forest region effect in height growth modeling for Scots pine in Poland. The study found differences in height growth patterns among different natural forest regions and showed that acknowledging region as an independent variable can improve growth prediction and site index estimation quality.

Tree mortality in western US forests forecasted using forest inventory and Random Forest classification

Brandon E. McNellis et al.

Summary: Climate change is projected to have a significant impact on forest vulnerability to wildfires, insects, disease, and droughts in the western United States. Species identity was found to be the most important predictor of mortality, with contributions from climate and soil variables. The study suggests that future predictions of widespread forest mortality should focus on vulnerable species and that significant mortality events in certain species may not have a large impact on all systems.
