Low growth resilience to drought is related to future mortality risk in trees

Low growth resilience to drought is related to future mortality risk in trees

Resilience to drought is crucial for tree survival under climate change. Here, DeSoto et al. show that trees that died during drought were less resilient to previous dry events compared to surviving conspecifics, but the resilience strategies differ between angiosperms and gymnosperms.
