Dr. Paulo Bernardino
Changes in dryland ecosystems can take place gradually or abruptly. When the latter are accompanied by a regime shift to an alternate vegetation state, …
Kimberly Novick and Jessica Guo
Water potential gradients are the fundamental driver of water flow within and between soils and plants, and plant water potential is a key control of …
Ruiling Lu
Australia’s forests span some of the world’s strongest gradients in climate variability and disturbance regimes, making the continent a natural laboratory …
Jordi Martínez-Vilalta · Future of the ITMN Network · Here’s the recording of our seminar!
Limits and opportunities in predicting drought-induced forest mortality Jordi Martínez-Vilalta Hotter and drier conditions under ongoing climate change are …
ITMN community
After several years of shared progress, ITMN invited its community to reflect on what the network had achieved and discuss where it should go next. This …
Paulo Menezes
Efficient control of water loss is critical for plant survival under hotter-drought episodes. Under such challenging environmental conditions, the drop in …
Kauane Bordin
The species life-history strategies emerge from ecological and evolutionary constraints, where organisms allocate limited resources to growth, survival, …
Joan Dudney
Interactions among forest disturbances are leading to unprecedented mortality and forest transitions. Despite their global impacts, the relationships among …
Paloma Ruiz Benito
Forest dynamics include a wide variety of demographic processes though the life cycle of trees, from dispersion and regeneration to tree growth and …
Brendan Choat
Severe droughts have caused widespread tree mortality across many forest biomes with profound impacts on ecosystem function and carbon balance. Climate …
Teja Kattenborn & Clemens Mosig
Quantifying tree mortality at global scale remains a major unsolved challenge. Earth observation satellites, such as the Copernicus Sentinel fleet have …
Lalasia Bialic-Murphy
Tree growth and longevity trade-offs fundamentally shape the terrestrial carbon balance. Yet, we lack a unified understanding of how such trade-offs vary …
Pieter Zuidema
Increasing drought stress under anthropogenic climate change jeopardizes the potential of tropical forests to capture carbon in woody biomass and act as …
Philippe Ciais
The fusion of satellite data from different sensors allows to create new maps of forest biomass and height, and their changes over time, down to the level …
Joanne White
The success and rate of forest regeneration following disturbance has consequences for sustainable forest management, climate change mitigation, and …
Tommaso Jucker
Characterising the processes that shape forest dynamics across broad spatial and temporal scales remains a major challenge in ecology. Satellite remote …
Arthur Gessler
Climate change is affecting forest functioning and jeopardizes the services forest ecosystems provide. Reduced water availability during drought events and …
Anna Trugman
Climate change has the potential to massively disrupt terrestrial ecosystem productivity, impacting biodiversity, and driving Earth’s forests to release …
Miroslav Svoboda
Primary forests provide important baseline information for our managed forests. Despite intensive use, primary forests still exist in east and south-east …
Daniel Zuleta · Helene Muller-Landau
Tree mortality and damage links in tropical forests Daniel Zuleta Large uncertainties remain on how tropical forests will respond to a rapidly changing …
David Galbraith
There is a pressing need to better understand and predict the impacts of climate change on Amazon forests, given their important role in the Earth System. …
Andreas Bolte
In the last years forests in Germany haved faced vitality decreases and mortality dynamics never seen before. About 25% of German forests are projected to …
Bonaventure Ntirugulirwa
Knowledge on mortality responses of tropical trees and communities under projected warmer climate is limited. Trees in tropical montane forests (TMFs) are …
Ana Bastos
Climate and weather extremes impact tree functioning directly and can further trigger forest disturbances, thus affecting forest functioning and dynamics …
Barbara Bentz
Globally, native bark beetles are contributing to increases in tree mortality and changes in climate are playing significant roles. Projecting future …
Viacheslav Kharuk
Conifer decline and mortality in the 21st century has been observed all over the boreal forests zone (e.g., Boyd et al., 2019), Europe (e.g., Hasenauer, …
Yude Pan
An empirical model depicting the relationship between changes in leaf area index (LAI) and aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) of terrestrial …
CRAIG D. ALLEN
Current research is presented on global-scale patterns and trends of forest responses to increasingly hotter droughts, particularly extensive tree …
LISA HÜLSMANN
Tree death is ubiquitous in forests, even without climate change, and has a lasting impact on forest structure, species composition, biomass, and …
NATE MCDOWELL
Tree mortality is rising in most documented locations but the drivers and mechanisms of this trend are unknown. Changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide, …
BELINDA MEDLYN
Australia is not only the driest inhabited continent, it also experiences high interannual variability in rainfall, and severe multi-year droughts. Tree …
FLÁVIA COSTA
Dr Costa will present results of 20 years of investigation on patterns of forest response to soil hydrology (more specifically water table depth) during …
MATT HANSEN
Earth observation data enable the monitoring of forest extent and change from national to global scales. Consistent processing of time-series images has …
