Increased drought impacts on temperate rainforests from southern South America: results of a process-based, dynamic forest model.

Increased droughts due to regional shifts in temperature and rainfall regimes are likely to affect forests in temperate regions in the coming decades. To assess their consequences for forest dynamics, we need predictive tools that couple hydrologic processes, soil moisture dynamics and plant product...
