This paper develops a framework to predict drought-induced tree mortality by integrating predisposing and inciting factors into a vegetation model, showing good performance in Swiss beech and Scots pine forests.

The paper uses a deep-learning approach on a large simulated dataset to analyze how climate change affects competitive strength and dominance of tree species in Europe.

This study derives management recommendations for Alpine protection forests, showing that high ungulate browsing limits protective quality, while management can improve it in less-browsed stands.
