Much legacy data for tropical forests, including inventory and plot data, are in danger of being lost. Many tropical forest projects over the years have generated data, but the information is scattered among different institutions and people, some still only on paper, some digitized but in older formats. These legacy datasets are invaluable for understanding how tropical forests change through time, including the cumulative impacts of land use and climate, and changes in patterns of biodiversity. change in land use and climate, and changes in patterns of biodiversity and carbon storage. Many of the forests represented in historical datasets no longer exist, so these data are the only record of the natural vegetation of the area. There is also a need to develop a set of standard descriptive metadata, or a metadata scheme, for describing these datasets. This would assist not only with recovering and describing old data sets, but also ensure that future datasets can be consistently described and that their loss can be avoided in the future. The first step is to review datasets referred to in older meta databases (e.g., ATROFI-UK and TROPIS) to determine if they are still available, and if they are in need of updated electronic curation. We are also reaching out via electronic media and networks, to find additional legacy tropical datasets and information on these studies. The next steps will be to develop an updated metadatabase regarding these datasets, develop with stakeholders policy on ownership and appropriate use, seek funding, and electronically curate such datasets. We invite your participation in the e-list to discuss these and related topics. IUFRO 4.02.01 Coordination Team https://www.iufro.org/science/divisions/division-4/40000/40200/40201/

International Tree Mortality Network seminar series: Dr. NATE MCDOWELL - Rising tree mortality in the Anthropocene

by Henrik Hartmann

Dear all, The International Tree Mortality Network, an initiative of the IUFRO task force on monitoring trends and patterns in global tree mortality, continues the online seminar series. You are invited to join on *MAR 24 *(9 am MT, 3 pm UTC): *Dr. NATE MCDOWELL* _Rising tree mortality in the Anthropocene_ *_ _* _Abstract_:Tree mortality is rising in most documented locations but the drivers and mechanisms of this trend are unknown. Changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide, temperature, and vapor pressure deficit, along with drought, are primary potential drivers. Mechanisms linking these drivers to mortality include water, carbon, and pathogen defense processes. These processes are interdependent such that failure of one can lead to failure of the others. Prediction of future mortality is challenged by our understanding of the mechanisms, however, some evidence suggests the growing mortality rates are likely to continue well into the future. I conclude by reviewing the numerous challenges and opportunities for predicting future tree mortality.

WATCH NOW ONLINE Seminar by Belinda Medlyn on tree mortality in Australia

by ITMN-Henrik Hartmann

Dear all, Seminar #3 of the International Tree Mortality Network, an initiative of the IUFRO Task Force on Monitoring Trends and Patterns of Global Tree Mortality, is now available online. Watch this seminar at: https://youtu.be/hRlBc7oR328 <https://youtu.be/hRlBc7oR328> *Prof. BELINDA MEDLYN* _Tree mortality in Australian ecosystems: past, present and future_ _Abstract_: Australia is not only the driest inhabited continent, it also experiences high interannual variability in rainfall, and severe multi-year droughts. Tree death from drought is thus a recurring feature of the Australian landscape. In this talk I will review our current understanding of drought mortality in Australian ecosystems, including the historical context, current field research on the extent and mechanisms of drought dieback and recovery, and the development of models to predict future drought mortality risk. _Belinda is Distinguished Professor at the University of Western Sydney_. Her research focuses on how plants, especially forests, respond to increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide and climate change. She works at the interface between experiments and models: her aim is to develop evidence-based models of how ecosystem productivity, water use and species composition will be affected by global change, and to do so she works closely with a number of experimental teams world-wide to test and improve ecosystem models. *Previous seminars:* Seminar # 1: Matt Hansen - Global forest monitoring using satellite data https://youtu.be/ya8XlQBS6DQ <https://youtu.be/ya8XlQBS6DQ> Seminar # 2: Flavia Costa - Tree mortality in the Amazon https://youtu.be/KoC8E6P3Zu8 <https://youtu.be/KoC8E6P3Zu8> Visit us at: https://www.iufro.org/science/task-forces/tree-mortality-patterns/ https://www.tree-mortality.net/ --
