1 INTRODUCTION Anthropogenic climate change has already resulted in ecosystem collapse and community composition shifts due to a global increase in extreme weather events, drought, and changes in rainfall distribution (IPCC, 2022).
Increased hydraulic risk in assemblages of woody plant species predicts spatial patterns of drought-induced mortality - Nature Ecology & Evolution

AbstractPredicting drought-induced mortality (DIM) of woody plants remains a key research challenge under climate change. Here, we integrate information on the edaphoclimatic niches, phylogeny and hydraulic traits of species to model the hydraulic risk of woody plants globally. We combine these models with species distribution records to estimate the hydraulic risk faced by local woody plant species assemblages.
