Fig. 1: Global distribution of hotter-drought tree mortality plots.
From: Global field observations of tree die-off reveal hotter-drought fingerprint for Earth’s forests
Geo-referenced tree mortality plots (n = 1303) in the database. Dots are color coded according to the year of mortality. Each point has been precisely georeferenced. Insets show examples of dense plot networks in Canada, Central America, and Southwest Australia. To illustrate the extent of global forests, a background layer in green shows canopy height54, with darker green shading indicating taller forests. Inset a shows a broad plot network from aspen die-off during drought in Canada. Inset b shows dense plot networks in Costa Rica, Panama, and Colombia. Inset c shows plots in the Jarrah and Wandoo forests of Southwest Australia.
