The impacts of climate change on forest ecosystems have become increasingly evident over the past decades, with forest dieback and tree mortality emerging as critical concerns. As global temperatures continue to rise and extreme weather events become more frequent, understanding the dynamics of forest dieback and tree mortality is crucial for effective forest management and conservation.
This meeting leads to provide a comprehensive understanding of the challenges posed by forest dieback and tree mortality in the context of climate change, with a focus on the observed trends, the underlying causes, and the intricate mechanisms at play.
