Mortality in % of the sustainable annual tree increment

Caption

Time series of observed and modeled tree mortality over time in the Black Forest. The observed mortality from 1953 to 2020 is presented in red bars. The blue bars describe the modeled mortality from 1881 to 2020 based on the climatic water balance, and the green bars describe the modeled mortality from 1900 to 2020 based on the annual radial growth rate index.
