Conifer desiccation in the 2021 NW heatwave confirms the role of hydraulic damage

Résumé

Abstract The unprecedented heatwave which hit the Pacific northwest of North America in late June–early July 2021 impacted ecosystems and communities, yet evidence for and analysis of this impact are still missing. Here we bring a unique dataset quantifying the impact on conifer trees, which are keystone species of many northwest ecosystems. Moreover, we take advantage of this exceptional event as a broad, extreme, ‘field experiment’ to test a fundamental theory in plant physiology and prepare our forests for a harsher future. Overall, the data collected confirm the role of hydraulic vulnerability in drought-induced injury to trees.
