Mechanisms Linking Drought, Hydraulics, Carbon Metabolism, and Vegetation Mortality1[W]

Events of regional-scale vegetation mortality appear to be increasing in a variety of biomes throughout the Earth and are frequently associated with increased temperatures, droughts, and often (but not always) with outbreaks of biotic agents such as insects and pathogens (for review, see [Allen et
