Drought Effects on Forest Productivity
The effects of increasingly frequent and severe droughts are reported globally. Forest productivity decreases due to reduced growth, canopy dieback, and tree mortality. Drought effects are not even and are influenced by internal and external factors. Some adaptation measures to drought-proof forests are suggested based on available information. Drought intensity, frequency, duration, and extent are… Continue reading…

How Climate Change Impacts Leaf Pigments
Chlorophylls, carotenoids, and anthocyanins are the pigments coloring leaves green, orange, and red, respectively. Chlorophyll degradation, a crucial phenomenon in autumn, is getting delayed due to climate change cutting the fall color change time short with repercussions on nitrogen cycling and carbon storage. Warm temperature makes tropical forest leaves darker and reduces light reflection, which… Continue reading…
