#ESA2020 It's the 5th anniversary of our Allen @DaveBreshears @McDowell_Trees publication in @ESAEcosphere Centennial Special Issue:

Despite tons of citations, they mostly just say lots of tree die-off happening. The real messages of this paper are:
i) we need to look more holistically at ten categories affecting greater and lesser vulnerability of tree mortality
Green and brown out rings in this fig

ii) We also present a set of global vulnerability drivers that are known with high confidence (Red text in fig): (1) droughts eventually occur everywhere; (2) warming produces hotter droughts; (3) atmospheric moisture demand increases nonlinearly with temperature during drought;
