Experimental downed woody debris-created microsites enhance tree survival and growth in extreme summer heat

IntroductionIncreasing temperatures associated with climate change can lead to more challenging conditions for tree seedlings, including greater soil surface temperatures and reduced growing season soil moisture. Downed woody debris (DWD) may provide microsite effects, such as shade, that moderate t...
