Forest Mortality Dynamics

Forest Mortality Dynamics is a theoretical framework that characterizes the spatiotemporal patterns, drivers, and ecological mechanisms underlying tree death within forest ecosystems, distinguishing itself by integrating physiological stress responses, disturbance interactions, and population-level feedbacks to quantify mortality processes across scales.
