This is figure 2, which shows the trends in drought magnitude and frequency for 6-month SPEI during 1981–2022.

A paper in Nature reports an increasing trend in drought severity between 1901 and 2022. A driver called atmospheric evaporative demand is likely to have increased global drought severity by an average of 40% globally since 1981. go.nature.com/4kqjriq ⚒️ 🧪

This is figure 1, which shows the six forest biomes, with the number of plots, mean annual temperature and mean water availability index displayed.

A study in Nature Communications finds that dominant tree species are taller and have softer wood compared to rare species and that these trait differences are more strongly associated with temperature than water availability. go.nature.com/4jAS18t 🧪
