Hot drought reshapes the relationship between tree species diversity and forest resilience

Climate warming is increasing the occurrence of hot droughts, in which water deficits coincide with anomalously high temperatures, posing growing risks to forest ecosystems and carbon sequestration. Yet whether tree species diversity (TSD) affects forest resilience differently under drought-only and hot drought remains...

Thinning and mulching reduce winter drought impacts on dryland forest soil moisture

Regional drought events are becoming more frequent and severe across the western US. In particular, winter droughts have important ecohydrological impacts that last across the entire year. Using a uniquely extensive sensor network across Arizona, we examined soil matric potential during and after 2024–2025 winter dro...

Four decades of drought impacts on Swiss protective forests: a vanishing altitudinal gradient

Swiss protective forests are distributed along a wide altitudinal gradient, where many are already facing the deleterious impacts of repeated drought episodes. How intensifying drought will influence forest structure and, ultimately, their protective effect is still an open question. In this study, we investigated the...

Soil viral response to drought disturbance and ecosystem recovery in an artificial rainforest

Anthropogenic climate change is driving increased temperature and altered precipitation patterns in tropical rainforests, yet the impact of severe drought on soil viral communities and their recovery capacity remains poorly understood. Soil viruses can exert strong controls on bacterial populations impacting microbiall...

Evaluating vegetation indices for monitoring drought and post-drought declines in European forest productivity

Drought is causing increasingly severe and widespread negative impacts on forest gross primary productivity (GPP), but modelling these impacts over large spatial scales with remote sensing data is challenging. It is especially problematic in forests that have lower spectral sensitivity to drought compared to other ecos...

Multidimensional Vegetation Drought Response to Meteorological and Soil Moisture Deficits Across the Yellow River Basin

Drought poses substantial threats to terrestrial ecosystems, yet whether vegetation vulnerability patterns systematically diverge between soil moisture and meteorological droughts—and how long-term hydrological adaptation governs ecosystem susceptibility to rare extreme droughts—remains poorly understood. Here, we syst...
