Massive forest mortality events of many tree species in the last two decades prompt concerns that drought, insects, and wildfire may devastate forests in the coming decades. We study how drought and climate change affect forest ecosystems, including tree physiology, species interactions, carbon cycling, and biosphere-atmosphere feedbacks. This research spans a broad array of spatial scales from xylem cells to ecosystems and seeks to gain a better mechanistic understanding of how climate change will affect forests around the world. This talk will explore our recent work aiming to leverage multiple approaches and techniques to quantify the climate risks that forests face and bring this scientific understanding into efforts around ‘nature-based climate solutions’.
