Towards a global understanding of tree mortality

Rates of tree mortality are increasing globally, with implications for forests and climate. Yet, how and why these trends vary globally remain unknown. Developing a comprehensive assessment of global tree mortality will require systematically integrating data from ground-based long-term forest monitoring with large-scale remote sensing. We surveyed the metadata from 466865 forest monitoring plots across 89 countries and five continents using questionnaires and discuss the potential to use these to estimate tree mortality trends globally. Our survey shows that the area monitored has increased steadily since 1960, but we also identify many regions with limited ground-based information on tree mortality. The integration of existing ground-based forest inventories with remote sensing and modelling can potentially fill those gaps, but this requires development of technical solutions and agreements that enable seamless flows of information from the field to global assessments of tree mortality. A truly global monitoring effort should promote fair and equitable collaborations, transferring funding to and empowering scientists from less wealthy regions. Increasing interest in forests as a natural climate solution, the advancement of new technologies and world-wide connectivity means that now a global monitoring system of tree mortality is not just urgently needed but also possible.Las tasas de mortalidad de árboles están aumentando a nivel mundial, con implicaciones para los bosques y el clima. Sin embargo, aún se desconoce cómo y por qué varían estas tendencias globalmente. Para desarrollar una evaluación integral de la mortalidad global de árboles, será necesario integrar sistemáticamente datos de monitoreo forestal a largo plazo en tierra con teledetección a gran escala. Analizamos los metadatos de 466.865 parcelas de monitoreo forestal en 89 países y cinco continentes mediante cuestionarios y discutimos el potencial de utilizarlos para estimar las tendencias de mortalidad de árboles a nivel mundial. Nuestro estudio muestra que el área monitoreada ha aumentado constantemente desde 1960, pero también identificamos muchas regiones con información limitada en tierra sobre la mortalidad de árboles. La integración de los inventarios forestales existentes en tierra con la teledetección y el modelado puede potencialmente subsanar estas deficiencias, pero esto requiere el desarrollo de soluciones técnicas y acuerdos que permitan un flujo continuo de información desde el campo hasta las evaluaciones globales de la mortalidad de árboles. Un esfuerzo de monitoreo verdaderamente global debería promover colaboraciones justas y equitativas, transfiriendo fondos y empoderando a científicos de regiones menos prósperas. El creciente interés por los bosques como solución natural al cambio climático, el avance de las nuevas tecnologías y la conectividad mundial hacen que ahora no solo sea urgentemente necesario, sino también posible, un sistema global de monitoreo de la mortalidad de los árboles.
