Vegetation browning: global drivers, impacts, and feedbacks
Vegetation browning has progressively increased globally under a background of climate change.Under climate change, increases in the intensity and duration of disturbances (i.e., drought, wildfire, insect and pathogen outbreaks, and wind and ice storms) are the major driving factors behind vegetatio...

| Shrnutí: | Vegetation browning has progressively increased globally under a background of climate change.Under climate change, increases in the intensity and duration of disturbances (i.e., drought, wildfire, insect and pathogen outbreaks, and wind and ice storms) are the major driving factors behind vegetation browning.The weakening of ecosystem services and functions and alterations to vegetation structure and species composition will be accompanied by vegetation browning.Potential positive browning feedbacks may exacerbate climate change.
As global climate conditions continue to change, disturbance regimes and environmental drivers will continue to shift, impacting global vegetation dynamics. Following a period of vegetation greening, there has been a progressive increase in remotely sensed vegetation browning globally. Given the many societal benefits that forests provide, it is critical that we understand vegetation dynamic alterations. Here, we review associative drivers, impacts, and feedbacks, revealing the complexity of browning. Concomitant increases in browning include the weakening of ecosystem services and functions and alterations to vegetation structure and species composition, as well as the development of potential positive climate change feedbacks. Also discussed are the current challenges in browning detection and understanding associated impacts and feedbacks. Finally, we outline recommended strategies. |
