#TreeMortality is often neglected in #EarthSystemModels. Global veg models are often very satellite driven leading to detailed #photosynthesis models (dependent on in solar radiation, temperature, and moisture) but less detailed tree death (often just proportional to biomass).

Yu etal 2022 ( https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-29619-4 ) used #MachineLearning to better estimate tree mortality. => Generally reduced expected #LandCarbonStocks.
