From xylogenesis to tree rings: wood traits to investigate tree response to environmental changes (2019, background): “2000) or are more responsive to climate prior to tree death (Suarez et al. 2004).”
The relationship between tree growth patterns and likelihood of mortality: a study of two tree species in the Sierra Nevada (2007, background): “Although several studies have documented a relationship between longer term growth characteristics and tree decline (Phipps and Whiton 1988; Leblanc 1990; Pedersen 1998b; Ogle et al. 2000; Cherubini et al. 2002; Duchesne et al. 2002, 2003; Suarez et al. 2004), relatively few attempts have been made ”
Extreme climatic events and vegetation: the role of stabilizing processes (2012, background): “…effect of extreme climatic events have focused on the existence of critical thresholds and contributing factors: site quality (Lloret et al., 2004; Suarez et al., 2004), variations in species and individual responses (e.g. Bréda et al., 2006; Koepke et al., 2010), stand structure (Greenwood &…”
Growth, carbon‐isotope discrimination, and drought‐associated mortality across a Pinus ponderosa elevational transect (2010, background): “1 505 665 2909, fax 1 505 lez, 2001; Suarez et al., 2004; Bigler et al., 2006; van 665 3866; e-mail: mcdowell@lanl.gov Mantgem & Stephenson, 2007; McDowell et al., 2008a, r 2009 Blackwell Publishing Ltd 1 Raffa et al., 2008; Fensham et al., 2009; Allen , 2009) and may be associated with increased…”
Recruitment patterns following a severe drought: long-term compositional shifts in Patagonian forests (2008, background): “A previous study preformed in the same area showed that steeper slopes associated with high rockiness and shallow soils predisposed the forest to suffer high mortality during the 1998–1999 event (Suarez et al. 2004).”
Which trees die during drought? The key role of insect host‐tree selection (2019, background): “…stressed trees, as indicated by persistent slow growth preceding drought, often have higher aver - age mortality rates during drought than their less stressed (rapidly growing) neighbours (e.g. Pedersen, 1998; Suarez et al., 2004; Kane & Kolb, 2014; Gaylord et al., 2015; Cailleret et al., 2017).”
Mechanisms of plant survival and mortality during drought: why do some plants survive while others succumb to drought? (2008, background): “The El-Niño Southern Oscillation has been associated with drought-associated mortality from the tropical moist forests of Borneo (Van Nieewstadt & Sheil, 2005), Central America (Clark, 2004) and the Amazon (Williamson et al., 2000; Cox et al., 2004), to temperate Nothofagus and Austrocedrus forests ”
Depth-related fine root dynamics of Fagus sylvatica during exceptional drought (2006, background): “Indeed, forest decline in predisposed trees has been attributed to increased occurrence of drought (Rebetez and Dobbertin, 2004; Suarez et al., 2004) but there is little knowledge on fine root dynamics during drought.”
Will a 385 million year‐struggle for light become a struggle for water and for carbon? – How trees may cope with more frequent climate change‐type drought events (2011, background): “Several other studies have found an inverse relationship between tree size and drought-induced mortality, i.e. higher mortality in small- and medium-sized trees (Condit et al., 1995; Nakagawa et al., 2000; Suarez et al., 2004; Guarı́n & Taylor, 2005).”
Regional growth decline of sugar maple (Acer saccharum) and its potential causes (2015, background): “Decreasing growth rates have been used as a proxy of tree vitality and susceptibility, and in many species have been observed as a precursor to mortality when coupled with additional stressors (Pedersen 1998, Suarez et al. 2004).”
