Hurricane María tripled stem breaks and doubled tree mortality relative to other major storms

Given the potential for increasingly common and intense tropical storms, it is important to understand their effects on island forest communities. Here, the authors show that Hurricane María’s strength and rainfall had larger effects on tree mortality than other less severe storms, and that large tr...
