• Inferred longevity of Amazonian rainforest trees based on a long-term demographic study (2004, unknown): “Strong droughts occurred in 1982/1983 and 344 1997/1998, with a weaker drought in 1992/1993 345 (Laurance et al., 2001).”
• Drought-mortality relationships for tropical forests. (2010, background): “…(Brazil), and central and eastern Africa (Leighton & Wirawan, 1986; Condit et al., 1995, 2004; Nakagawa et al., 2000; Williamson et al., 2000; Laurance et al., 2001; Aiba & Kitayama, 2002; Potts, 2003; Sist et al., 2003; GourletFluery et al., 2004; Newbery & Lingenfelder, 2004; Van…”
• Are Scots pine forest edges particularly prone to drought-induced mortality? (2018, background): “…and in some cases an increased tree mortality at the forest edge—particularly at south-facing edges—if compared to the forest interior (Cadenasso et al 1997, Chen et al 1993, Cienciala et al 2002, Laurance et al 2001, 2011, Laurance and Williamson 2001, Matlack 1993, Young and Mitchell 1994).”
• How much variation in tree mortality is predicted by soil and topography in Central Amazonia (2011, background): “Several studies have reported marked increases in tree mortality in Amazonian forests following severe droughts (Williamson et al., 2000; Laurance et al., 2001; Nepstad et al., 2007; Phillips et al., 2009) and after climatic disturbances associated to wind and rain (blowdowns) (Nelson et al.”
• Plant Herbivore Interactions at the Forest Edge (2008, background): “Likewise, intraspecific and within-plant leaf quality may be improved by edge-induced drought stress (Laurance et al. 2001).”
