How do tropical #trees deal with droughts? The answer is published today in @science.org Our pantropical #treering analysis revealed 2.5% growth reduction during #drought years. Yet, growth declined by >10% in 1/4 of 500 study sites, and in hotter & drier regions. doi.org/10.1126/scie... 🌍🍁🌐 (1/4)

Pantropical tree rings show small effects of drought on stem growth

Increasing drought pressure under anthropogenic climate change may jeopardize the potential of tropical forests to capture carbon in woody biomass and act as a long-term carbon dioxide sink. To evalua...
