Widespread forest mortality events of many tree species in the last two decades prompt concerns that drought, insects, and wildfire may devastate forests in the coming decades. In this talk, I will give an overview of what we have learned so far about recent drought-induced tree mortality events in the West, covering our current understanding of the physiology, ecology, and predictive capability of these events.
