Constraining Amazonian land surface temperature sensitivity to precipitation and the probability of forest dieback
Abstract The complete or partial collapse of the forests of Amazonia is consistently named as one of the top ten possible tipping points of Planet Earth in a changing climate. However, apart from a few observational studies that showed increased mortality after the severe droughts of 2005 and 2010,...
