Dead again: predictions of repeat tree die-off under hotter droughts confirm mortality thresholds for a dryland conifer species

Tree die-off, driven by extreme drought and exacerbated by a warming climate, is occurring rapidly across every wooded continent—threatening carbon sinks and other ecosystem services provided by forests and woodlands. Forecasting the spatial patterns of tree die-off in response to drought is a prior...
