The Impacts of Drought on the Growth of a Wide-Niche Shrub Only Emerge in Dry Sites in Contrast to What is Observed for a Coexisting Tree
Antonio Gazol,Cristina Valeriano,Michele Colangelo,J. Julio Camarero +3 more
- 01 Jan 2023
TL;DR: The growth of A. ovalis and P. sylvestris varies between regions, with the lowest growth in the driest site. Growth reductions in response to dry conditions were stronger in the drier sites, particularly for A. ovalis.
Rapid assimilation and analysis of a suit of remote sensing data for predicting extreme events and their impact on ecological-human systems
Nicola Falco
- 09 Mar 2021
TL;DR: In this paper, a heuristic method based on theory/model-informed remote sensing (RS)based estimation is proposed to more rapidly advance scientific discoveries via AI capabilities, which will be able to identify how to assimilate and analyze RS data.

30 Aug 2022
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors compare a reservoir mitigation strategy using traditional CBA metrics with composite socio-environmental risks through geospatial multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) and scenario-based hydrologic/hydraulic modelling.

A global overview of drought and heat-induced tree mortality reveals emerging climate change risks for forests
Craig D. Allen,Alison K. Macalady,Haroun Chenchouni,Dominique Bachelet,Nate G. McDowell,Michel Vennetier,Thomas Kitzberger,Andreas Rigling,David D. Breshears,Edward H. Hogg,Patrick Gonzalez,Rod Fensham,Zhen Zhang,Jorge Castro,N.A. Demidova,Jong Hwan Lim,Gillian Allard,Steven W. Running,Akkin Semerci,Neil S. Cobb +19 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the first global assessment of recent tree mortality attributed to drought and heat stress and identify key information gaps and scientific uncertainties that currently hinder our ability to predict tree mortality in response to climate change and emphasizes the need for a globally coordinated observation system.
