Drought-induced mortality in arid-zone tree species: a mechanistic study

该项目旨在确定干旱期间气温升高和水汽压差增加在导致干旱导致死亡(DIM)方面的相对重要性。该项目的成果将是提高预测未来死亡率的能力，以应对更温暖和更干燥的大气气候。这将有助于制定未来的管理战略，并有助于我们预测干旱对景观功能和生产力的影响。

This project aims to determine the relative importance of elevated temperature and increased vapour pressure deficit during drought in causing drought induced mortality (DIM). The outcomes of this project will be an enhanced ability to predict future mortality in response to a warmer and atmospherically drier climate. This will benefit the development of future management strategies and our ability to predict drought impacts on landscape function and productivity.
