This project aims to measure the vulnerability of forest trees to more extreme drought as global temperatures inevitably rise. Australian forests face the immediate threat of increased mortality associated with intensifying drought stress in the future. Understanding the magnitude of this threat is of the utmost urgency. This project aims to predict future mortality of forest communities in Australia and worldwide using recent breakthroughs enabling the rapid quantification of lethal stress in trees. This new understanding will provide a basis upon which to make far-reaching decisions about land management, conservation and restoration.

该项目旨在衡量随着全球气温不可避免地上升，森林树木对更极端干旱的脆弱性。澳大利亚森林面临着与未来干旱压力加剧有关的死亡率增加的直接威胁。了解这一威胁的严重性是当务之急。该项目旨在利用最近的突破，快速量化树木的致命压力，预测澳大利亚和世界各地森林群落的未来死亡率。这一新的认识将为就土地管理、养护和恢复作出意义深远的决定提供基础。
