TWIST is a framework that models tree water deficit dynamics using dendrometer data, showing good agreement with observed patterns and enabling integration into forest models.

The paper introduces deadtrees.earth, an open-access database of high-resolution aerial imagery to map global tree mortality using community-sourced data and machine learning.

This study shows that soil and atmospheric drought cause early leaf senescence in temperate forests, increasing canopy mortality risk, and identifies drought response types based on senescence patterns and soil conditions.

This study links stomatal size and density to water-use efficiency and leaf carbon isotope ratio in juvenile and mature trees, showing GCL and SD as key functional traits.
