This paper develops a process-based inversion framework to estimate root-accessible soil water storage and predict drought-induced hydraulic failure across forests.

The paper introduces a new Forest Stress Index (ISF) based on hydraulic modeling to better link climatic anomalies to tree mortality risk, showing stronger emphasis on extreme drought years compared to existing indices.

The paper assesses hydraulic trait variability in silver fir across populations to evaluate drought vulnerability, finding constrained safety traits and variable water-use traits with scale-dependent coordination.

The paper examines how multi-year drought affects tree growth responses influenced by neighborhood diversity and functional traits, finding stronger and site-specific diversity effects during prolonged drought.

This study compares operational drought resistance indicators with ecophysiological traits to assess vulnerability to hydraulic failure in Abies species under climate change.

PDG-Arena is a new forest growth model that simulates mixed forest dynamics and shows improved performance in mixed stands compared to existing models.
