Recent studies have identified strong relationships between delayed recovery of tree growth after drought and tree mortality caused by subsequent droughts. These observations raise concerns about forest ecosystem services and post-drought growth recovery given the projected increase in drought frequ...

Forests account for nearly 90 % of the world's terrestrial biomass in the form of carbon and they support 80 % of the global biodiversity. To understand the underlying forest dynamics, we need a long-term but also relatively high-frequency, networked monitoring system, as traditionally used in meteo...

Tropical forests will be increasingly impacted by intensifying droughts under ongoing climate change. Droughts may have large implications for the capacity of tropical forests to store carbon in wood and act as long-term carbon sinks. To assess this possible implication, pantropical analyses of tree...

One of the most pervasive drought impacts on tropical forests is increased tree mortality. While satellite imagery can detect large-scale drought-induced tree mortality events, it cannot detect individual tree mortality that is scattered in space and lagged in time. To estimate the latter mortality ...
