Chronic historical drought legacy exacerbates tree mortality and crown dieback during acute heatwave-compounded drought
Globally, combinations of drought and warming are driving widespread tree mortality and crown dieback. Yet thresholds triggering either tree mortality or crown dieback remain uncertain, particularly with respect to two issues: (i) the degree to which heat waves, as an acute stress, can trigger morta...
