Are Scots pine forest edges particularly prone to drought-induced mortality?

Are Scots pine forest edges particularly prone to drought-induced mortality?

Climate change is expected to exacerbate the frequency of drought-induced tree mortality world-wide. To better predict the associated change of species composition and forest dynamics on various scales and develop adequate adaptation strategies, more information on the mechanisms driving the often o...
