Forest dieback

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dieback is a condition in trees or woody plants in which peripheral parts are killed, either by parasites or due to conditions like acid rain.

Two of the nine tipping points for major climate changes in the next century are directly related to forest diebacks [1] [2].
