Tree mortality is an intrinsic driver of forest ecosystem dynamics. This process of constant change may be overlooked when occurring at a fine scale (e.g., single tree senescence) but viewed as catastrophic when apparent at the landscape scale (e.g., bark beetle epidemic). Landscape-scale tree mortality events can fall within the bounds of a forest’s natural disturbance regime; however, forests worldwide are increasingly impacted by novel disturbance types, frequencies, and severities that are amplifying the scale and extent of widespread tree mortality (Allen et al., 2015, Anderegg et al., 2019, Berner et al., 2017). | Tree mortality is an intrinsic driver of forest ecosystem dynamics.
