Losses outlast gains in Northern Hemisphere tree growth under climate change

Erez Feuer, Stefan Klesse, Guy Amir, Nadav Peleg, Yair Mau

The paper projects Northern Hemisphere tree growth under climate change, finding that growth declines and losses persist longer than gains.

Mechanisms behind facilitation-competition transition along rainfall gradients

Oded Hollander, Yair Mau, Niv DeMalach

The paper presents a mechanistic framework explaining the facilitation-to-competition transition in plant interactions along rainfall gradients, showing it depends on resource availability and woody density.

Stem water content is crucial to support fruit tree functioning during heatwaves in a Mediterranean climate

Laura Rez, Justine E.C. Missik, Gil Bohrer, Yair Mau

This study quantifies heatwave effects on tree stem water content in a Mediterranean climate, showing species-specific sensitivity and resilience to heat stress.

Tree Growth, Contraction, and Recovery: Disentangling Soil and Atmospheric Drought Effects

Erez Feuer, Yakir Preisler, Eyal Rotenberg, Dan Yakir, Yair Mau

The paper examines how soil and atmospheric droughts affect tree growth and recovery in a semi-arid pine forest using stem diameter data and an irrigation experiment, finding that heatwaves reduce growth rates but soil water availability determines whether trees contract or recover.
