Competition release and climate change effects on a moisture-demanding tree species in a dry system

Creator:: Seager, S. Trent
Abstract:: Climate change and the increase in meteorological drought have generated global concern over the persistence of ecosystems already in decline from decreased moisture. Evidence suggests dryland ecosystems have been more impacted by drought because of their tightly coupled growth-water relationships and high sensitivity to environmental shift. Removal of competing vegetation...
