Invasive grasses: A new perfect storm for forested ecosystems? (2020, background): “Various combinations of rapid climate change, long-term climate instability, insect and disease outbreaks (Anderegg et al., 2015), her-”
Observed and anticipated impacts of drought on forest insects and diseases in the United States (2016, background): “2a); (6) integration of mechanistically-based models of bark beetle response to drought and temperature into models that predict climate impacts on forest vegetation (e.g., Anderegg et al., 2015).”
Fire and tree death: understanding and improving modeling of fire-induced tree mortality (2018, background): “All plants must maintain hydraulic conductivity and NSC pools to survive; therefore, focusing on hydraulic integrity and NSC provides a mechanistic framework to test the impacts of stress and disturbance on individual plant productivity and biomass (Anderegg et al 2015, Venturas et al 2017).”
A synthesis of tree functional traits related to drought-induced mortality in forests across climatic zones (2017, background): “Pathogens and insects may also enhance mortality during drought (Anderegg et al. 2015b), but, for simplicity, we concentrate on direct drought-induced tree mortality only.”
Which trees die during drought? The key role of insect host‐tree selection (2019, background): “More important, folivory is typically not a significant source of tree mortality com - pared to bark beetles or wood borers (see the summaries in Nair, 2007; Stephenson et al., 2011; Anderegg et al., 2015; Das et al., 2016).”
Climate-driven risks to the climate mitigation potential of forests (2020, background): “This representation is particularly problematic because bioticdrivenmortality is highly heterogeneous, affects different physiological processes depending on the type of insect or pathogen, is often responsive to climate, and can lead to catastrophic mortality events (34, 95, 96, 120).”
