Drought is part of the story, but our new paper shows that tree mortality is shaped by climate variability across seasons, not by single extreme events alone.</p> <p>🔎 We analysed &gt;500,000 trees from the French National Forest Inventory (2015-2023), covering 52 species and a wide range of climates. Using ensemble modelling and explainable machine learning, we looked for the strongest signals behind mortality risk.</p> <p>📈 The main drivers were tree size, competition, and seasonal climate anomalies. Warmer winters and springs, warmer summers, drought patterns, and recovery conditions all mattered differently depending on species and context.</p> <p>🌱 One surprising result: “good” spring conditions can sometimes backfire. Warm, wet springs may promote rapid canopy growth, increasing water demand and making some trees more vulnerable if drought arrives later.</p> <p>🌲 This matters for how we monitor and manage forests. If mortality is driven by climate sequences, not just one dry summer, we need to think about species choice, stand density, and recovery conditions across the whole year.</p> <p>🙏 For me, this paper is a real milestone.
