• Which trees die during drought? The key role of insect host‐tree selection (2019, background): “Another recent multispecies synthesis found that hydraulic fail - was a ubiquitous feature of mortality (Adams et al., 2017).”
• Pervasive shifts in forest dynamics in a changing world (2020, background): “inclusive, underlying physiological mechanisms for drought-induced mortality (73), and both processes are likely to increase tree susceptibility to biotic agents (74).”
• Fire and tree death: understanding and improving modeling of fire-induced tree mortality (2018, background): “Death by carbon depletion seemingly can occur if NSC levels fall below critical thresholds (Martínez-Vilalta et al 2016), but evidence of these thresholds and the mechanisms involved are limited and seem inconsistent across tree species (Adams et al 2017b).”
• Coupling between the terrestrial carbon and water cycles—a review (2019, background): “…ecosystem respiration but also through changes in disturbances such as fires (Williams et al 2014, Seager et al 2015, Williams and Abatzoglou 2016, Williams et al 2018), wind damage (Silvério et al 2019) or through large-scale mortality (McDowell 2011, Williams et al 2013, Adams et al 2017).”
• Trait selection and community weighting are key to understanding ecosystem responses to changing precipitation regimes (2018, background): “This trend could be due to increased interest in the hydraulic mechanisms of tree mortality within the last decade (Adams et al., 2017; Allen et al., 2010; McDowell et al., 2008).”
