TWIST: A diagnostic framework for representing tree water deficit dynamics in process-based forest models

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.

Soil and atmospheric drought trigger early leaf senescence and increase subsequent canopy mortality risk in temperate forests

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.
