Perpetuating old ponderosa pine (2007, background): “Climate change forecasts include an increase in the frequency and severity of drought in the western U.S. (Houghton et al., 2001; Coquard et al., 2004), which may increase bark beetle attacks (Breshears et al., 2005).”
Climate change and forest diseases (2011, background): “This drought was also the driver of unprecedented levels of mortality in Pinus edulis associated with an outbreak of the bark beetle Ips confusus (Breshears et al., 2005).”
Beaver (Castor canadensis) mitigate the effects of climate on the area of open water in boreal wetlands in western Canada (2008, background): “The effects of a warming climate are anticipated in many sectors including forestry (Hogg and Bernier, 2005; Breshears et al., 2005), agriculture (Smit and Skinner, 2002), and resource management (Dawson et al., 2003; Johnson et al., 2005).”
Tree die-off in response to global change-type drought: mortality insights from a decade of plant water potential measurements. (2009, background): “It also resulted in extensive mortality of a widely distributed tree species, piñon pine (Pinus edulis), while individuals of the co-occurring juniper species (Juniperus monosperma) largely survived (Breshears et al. 2005; Figure 1).”
Emergent insects, pathogens and drought shape changing patterns in oak decline in North America and Europe (2015, background): “…into the factors and mechanisms involved in tree mortality, and whether their occurrence and activity are being altered as climatic changes occur (e.g. Hanson and Weltzin, 2000; Breshears et al., 2005; Mueller et al., 2005; Bréda et al., 2006; McDowell et al., 2008; Allen et al., 2010).”
Ecotypes of European grass species respond differently to warming and extreme drought (2011, background): “Extreme climatic events can cause the local breakdown of populations (Breshears et al. 2005).”
Massive mortality of aspen following severe drought along the southern edge of the Canadian boreal forest (2011, background): “, 2009) in combination with climatically induced, regional-scale outbreaks of bark beetles and other pests (Carroll et al., 2004; Breshears et al., 2005; Raffa et al., 2008).”
Projecting climate change impacts on species distributions in megadiverse South African Cape and Southwest Australian Floristic Regions: Opportunities and challenges (2009, background): “Extreme events can result in complete reorganization of systems and communities (e.g. Brown et al. 1997; Breshears et al. 2005) and may provide important opportunities for and limitations to plant recruitment.”
New insight into leaf drought tolerance (2015, background): “However, drought-influenced mortality rates differ substantially between species growing at the same site (Breshears et al. 2005) and populations within the species’ distribution range (Benito-Garz on, Ruiz-Benito & Zavala 2013).”
Response of vegetation to drought time-scales across global land biomes (2012, background): “Its study is hindered by difficulties for drought quantification (6) and by the synergistic effects of temperature rise and drought on vegetation (7,8).”
Stress magnitude matters: different intensities of pulsed water stress produce non‐monotonic resistance responses of host plants to insect herbivores (2009, background): “Temporary drought events are characteristic for many parts of the world, and frequency and intensity of extreme drought is predicted to increase in the future ( Breshears et al. , 2005; Christensen et al. , 2007 ).”
