Climate change-associated tree mortality increases without decreasing water availability
Here, we reveal temporally increasing tree mortality across all study species over the last three decades in the central boreal forests of Canada, where long-term water availability has increased without apparent climate change-associated drought. Our results suggest that the consequences of climate change on tree mortality are more profound than previously thought.
