How much variation in tree mortality is predicted by soil and topography in Central Amazonia (2011, background): “In a nearby site, Williamson et al. (2000) did not detect a significant relationship between clay content and tree mortality.”
EFFECTS OF CLIMATE AND STAND AGE ON ANNUAL TREE DYNAMICS IN TROPICAL SECOND‐GROWTH RAIN FORESTS (2005, background): “Elevated tree mortality and decreased canopy tree recruitment during ENSO-related droughts have been documented in mature tropical rain forests in both Neo- and Paleotropical regions (Curran et al. 1999, Nakagawa et al. 2000, Williamson et al. 2000, Aiba and Kitayama 2002, Potts 2003, Slik 2004).”
Mortality of large trees and lianas following experimental drought in an Amazon forest. (2007, background): “…accompanied by higher adult tree mortality (Leighton and Wirawan 1986, Condit et al. 1995, 2004, Kinnaird and O’Brien 1998, Nakagawa et al. 2000, Williamson et al. 2000, van Nieuwstadt and Sheil 2005), higher or lower seedling mortality (Engelbrecht et al. 2002, Condit et al. 2004, Edwards…”
Drought-mortality relationships for tropical forests. (2010, background): “…America, the Atlantic Forest (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 &…”
Inferred longevity of Amazonian rainforest trees based on a long-term demographic study (2004, unknown): “In fact, El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events have evidently increased in frequency this century (Trenberth and Hoar, 1996; Dunbar, 2000) and such events promote droughts or rainfall deficits in the central Amazon (Marengo and Hastenrath, 1993; Williamson et al., 2000).”
Recruitment patterns following a severe drought: long-term compositional shifts in Patagonian forests (2008, background): “…has the capacity to cause rapid and pronounced vegetation shifts in dry woodlands (Allen and Bre- shears 1998; Swetnam and Betancourt 1998; Hanson and Weltzin 2000; Mueller et al. 2005) and mesic forests (Hursh and Haasis 1931; Elliott and Swank 1994; Williamson et al. 2000; Condit et al. 2004).”
Factors predisposing episodic drought‐induced tree mortality in Nothofagus– site, climatic sensitivity and growth trends (2004, background): “If global-scale models are to incorporate interannual climatic variability, mechanistic insights will be needed to link climatically anomalous events with physiological or demographic processes ( Walker 1996 ) such as drought-induced tree mortality.”
Drought in a Bornean everwet rain forest (2003, background): “In the two studies of seasonal neo-tropical forest sites in the Amazon (Williamson et al. 2000) and Barro Colorado Island (BCI), Panama (Condit et al. 1995), droughts had a small effect on tree mortality rates (Table 6).”
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 ”
