Competition amplifies drought stress in forests across broad climatic and compositional gradients

Competition amplifies drought stress in forests across broad climatic and compositional gradients

Abstract Forests around the world are experiencing increasingly severe droughts and elevated competitive intensity due to increased tree density. However, the influence of interactions between drought and competition on forest growth remains poorly understood. Using a unique dataset of stand‐scale d...
