Climate change in progress: observations on the impacts of drought events on Tuscan forests

Abstract: Climate change in progress: observations on the impacts of drought events on Tuscan forestsThe empirical observation of the impacts of drought and heat waves that occurred between 2017 and 2022 in several forest areas of Tuscany allowed to describe various processes and effects on forest trees and shrubs. The most severe impacts were observed on the evergreen Mediterranean tall woodlands and the aged coppices (on holm oak trees), causing defoliation and even mortality. In most cases, the attempts of resproutin… Show more
