Tree life spans, as an important determinant of carbon turnover in forest ecosystems, are strongly linked to climate change. Enhanced drought has led to extensive tree mortality, but whether climate dryness will widely shorten tree life spans remains unclear. Here we aimed to establish the relationship between climate dryness and tree life span, and identify the regulatory effects of functional traits on tree life span.

水力适应性促进气候干燥下的树木寿命

树木寿命作为森林生态系统中碳周转的重要决定因素，与气候变化密切相关。干旱加剧导致树木大量死亡，但气候干燥是否会大大缩短树木寿命尚不清楚。在这里，我们旨在建立气候干燥度与树木寿命之间的关系，并确定功能性状对树木寿命的调节作用。
