• Noise pollution changes avian communities and species interactions. (2009, background): “Scrub-jay avoidance of noisy habitats may have negative consequences for seedling recruitment that could result in decreased pinyon pine densities in noisy areas, potentially affecting many organisms and community dynamics that are dependent on pinyon pine [30, 31].”
• Widespread crown condition decline, food web disruption, and amplified tree mortality with increased climate change-type drought (2011, background): “Overall, the long-term effects of climate change–type droughts may alter forest physiological responses over extensive areas (10, 11, 15), potentially leading to extensive tree mortality and associated consequences for earth system processes (9, 16).”
• Extreme drought alters competitive dominance within and between tree species in a mixed forest stand (2013, background): “Differential mortality rates as a result of drought have previously been shown to affect the species composition of forest ecosystems (Mueller et al. 2005).”
• Components of tree resilience: effects of successive low‐growth episodes in old ponderosa pine forests (2011, unknown): “Th e lower resistance of old trees could refl ect reduced vigor, which is consistent with the well-documented age-related decline of tree growth (Ryan et al. 1997), and the often disproportionate mortality of old trees (Mueller et al. 2005).”
• Do plants remember drought? : Hints towards a drought-memory in grasses (2011, unknown): “In woody communities, drought was ound to reduce resilience, rendering plants more vulnerable to a ecurrent disturbance (Lloret et al., 2004; Mueller et al., 2005).”
• Bark beetle-caused mortality in a drought-affected ponderosa pine landscape in Arizona, USA (2009, background): “It has been suggested by various authors that these events of extensive mortality contribute to defining the geographical distribution of the tree species involved and community structure (Breshears et al., 2005; Mueller et al., 2005).”
• Density-dependent tree mortality in pinyon-juniper woodlands (2008, unknown): “Coulson et al. (1999) and Negron et al. (2001) indicated that conifer mortality caused by bark beetles exhibits spatial patterning at within-stand scales.”
