Cross-scale interaction of host tree size and climatic water deficit governs bark beetle-induced tree mortality

The 2012–2016 drought and western pine beetle outbreaks caused unprecedented mortality of ponderosa pine in the Sierra Nevada, California. Here, the authors analyse drone-based data from almost half a million trees and find an interaction between host size and climatic water deficit, with higher mor...
