• Drought-induced oak decline in the western Mediterranean region: an overview on current evidences, mechanisms and management options to improve forest resilience (2017, background): “O’Brien et al. (2017) also considered wood density as a potential functional proxy of susceptibility to drought-induced mortality, but they failed to find direct relationships between tree growth, functional traits and droughtinduced decline and mortality.”
• Which trees die during drought? The key role of insect host‐tree selection (2019, background): “Within a given tree species, the subset of trees that dies is not random; rather, some subpopulations of trees— often defined by size and vigour—typically suffer greater drought mortality than others (O'Brien et al., 2017).”
