Tree mortality from drought, insects, and their interactions in a changing climate. (2015, background): “Effects of future outbreaks can be assessed by prescribing the timing and severity of these events using scenarios, which is particularly effective with defoliator outbreaks given their cyclical nature (Dymond et al., 2010; Hennigar & MacLean, 2010).”
Climate-driven risks to the climate mitigation potential of forests (2020, background): “Ambient moisture can influence pathogen survival and spread (75, 76).”
Animating the Carbon Cycle (2014, background): “…of these storage pools, carbon remains a potential source of CO2 and CH4 release through biotic (microbial, bioturbation) or abiotic (for example, fires influencing terrestrial pools, thawing of permafrost) disturbances (Kurz and others 2008a, b; Houghton and others 2009; Schuur and Abbott 2011).”
