🌳 Tree mortality in 🇫🇷 France rose 1.5–4× (2015–2023). 500k+ trees analysed; warmer winters & springs are top drivers. Even wet springs increase mortality risk via 'structural overshoot'. Seasonal climate combos matter more than single extremes.

Women’s participation in science has risen sharply, but a Nature Index analysis finds that gender gaps in first and last authorship — markers of key scientific achievements — have barely shifted over the past decade.

Drought and insects have killed an unprecedented number of Oregon’s Douglas fir trees during the last decade, costing billions in timber value, damaging infrastructure and ramping up wildfire danger. What is Douglas fir dieback? Where is it happening? What is being done?

Australia’s trees are dying faster — not from fire, but from the stress of a warming, drying climate, weakening their role as vital carbon sinks. 🔗

Yes, forest trees die of old age. But the warming climate is killing them faster
The warming climate is killing Australia’s forest trees at a faster rate. This offers a glimpse of what may lie ahead for forests globally.

If you're waiting on a reply, a peer review, or other effort from me--please be patient. I urgently left to document a developing forest die-off event more intense than any I've seen. No obvious biotic agents, dead & dying include multiple Pinus & Juniperus, many Quercus, & shrubs.
