Terrestrial ecosystem response to interdecadal climate variability in the western United States [abstract]
EXTRACT (SEE PDF FOR FULL ABSTRACT):We argue that the most important climatically-driven terrestrial ecosystem changes are concentrated in annual- to decadal-scale episodic events. These rapid ecosystem responses to climate change are manifested as regionally synchronized disturbance events (eg, floods, fires, and insect outbreaks) and increased drought-caused plant mortality rates.
