Cover Story: Global climate change has affected forest health and productivity. A highly visible, direct climate impact is dieback caused by drought periods in moisture-limited forest ecosystems. Here, we use a climate moisture index (CMI) to infer drought vulnerabilities. We find that drought impacts that were predicted by negative CMI values over recent decades largely conformed to the observed dieback in Pinus edulis, Populus tremuloides, and Pinus ponderosa in western North America. However, there was one notable counterexample where the observed dieback was caused by a rare extreme drought event that was not apparently linked to directional climate change. Nevertheless, a macro-climatic drought index approach appeared to be generally suitable to identify and forecast the drought threats to the tree populations. View this paper

The role of climate change in future streamflow is still very uncertain, especially over semi-arid regions. However, part of this uncertainty can be offset by correcting systematic climate models’ bias. This paper tries to assess how the choice...
