Drought can cause the widespread death of tropical trees resulting in large emissions of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, but predictions of tree death during drought remain rudimentary. This project will combine new data and modelling on how Australian tropical trees respond to drought to improve estimates of tree mortality risk and its impacts.

干旱会导致热带树木大面积死亡，导致大量二氧化碳排放到大气中，但对干旱期间树木死亡的预测仍处于初级阶段。该项目将结合澳大利亚热带树木如何应对干旱的新数据和模型，以改进对树木死亡风险及其影响的估计。
