Article Synopsis
- Forests are facing higher risks of tree death due to drought, which can alter species composition and impact the global carbon cycle, particularly with deciduous oaks replacing conifers in the Northern Hemisphere.
- This study aimed to assess the legacy effects of extreme drought on oak growth from 1940 to 2016, examining variations across 21 species and multiple regions, revealing that negative effects can last from 1 to 5 years after drought, especially in dry areas.
- Results showed that repeated droughts significantly influenced oak growth, with species like Q. faginea exhibiting strong negative responses, while some oaks in wetter regions experienced growth increases post-drought, suggesting diverse resilience based on climate factors.
