The drivers of child mortality during the 2012–2016 drought in La Guajira, Colombia.
(2020)
Abstract
During the 2012–2016 drought in La Guajira, Colombia, child mortality rates rose to 23.4 out of 1000. Most of these children belonged to the Wayuu indigenous community, the largest and one of the most ...
Tree mortality across biomes is promoted by drought intensity, lower wood density and higher specific leaf area
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-04)
Drought events are increasing globally, and reports of consequent forest mortality are widespread. However, due to a lack of a quantitative global synthesis, it is still not clear whether drought-induced mortality rates ...
Amazonian tree mortality during the 1997 El Nino drought
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2000-10-01)
In 1997, the Amazon Basin experienced an exceptionally severe El Nino drought. We assessed effects of this rare event on mortality rates of trees in intact rainforest based on data from permanent plots. Long-term (5- to ...

Drought will not leave your glass empty : low risk of hydraulic failure revealed by long-term drought observations in world’s top wine regions
(2018)
Grapevines are crops of global economic importance that will face increasing drought stress because many varieties are described as highly sensitive to hydraulic failure as frequency and intensity of summer drought increase. ...
Drought-induced mortality affects understory vegetation: release after death
(Springer Tokyo, 2012-07)
In recent decades, severe droughts have become an important cause of canopy disturbance in forests, and have shown potential to cause rapid and pronounced vegetation shifts. Under dead canopy, undamaged understory could ...

Changes in the natural dynamics of Nothofagus dombeyi forests: Population modeling with increasing drought frequencies
(Ecological Society of America, 2017-03-07)
Drought-induced episodes of tree mortality can determine forest dynamics and structure, particularly in forests dominated by single species. Short-and mid-Term climate projections indicate that strong changes in annual ...
