Global Tree Mortality Database

Search, map and download field observations of tree die-off, or contribute new records to the global evidence base.

The currently published dataset accompanies Hammond et al. (2022), Global field observations of tree die-off reveal hotter-drought fingerprint for Earth’s forests, Nature Communications.
