Resilient woodlands: how can we integrate growth resilience and diversity?

Climate change is making droughts and heatwaves more severe. This has led to a reduction of tree and shrub growth and an increase of woodland dieback. Thus, we need a better understanding of the resilience capacity of woody plants to hotter droughts. My aim is to explain a handful of studies in which we have evaluated how resilience to drought varies between species, populations and individuals, and the intrinsic and extrinsic factors that affect those variations.
