NatureSatellite-based evidence of recent decline in global forest recovery rate from tree mortality events - Nature PlantsSatellite data show declining global forest recovery from tree mortality since the 1990s, driven by warming and water scarcity. Canopy water recovers slower than greenness, stressing the need for a multifaceted approach to assessing recovery.
