Forest dieback (also "Waldsterben", a German loan word, pronounced [ˈvaltˌʃtɛʁbn̩] ⓘ) is a condition in trees or woody plants in which peripheral parts are killed, either by pathogens, parasites or conditions like acid rain, drought,[1] and more. These episodes can have disastrous consequences such as reduced resiliency of the ecosystem,[2] disappearing important symbiotic relationships[3] and thresholds.[4] Some tipping points for major climate change forecast in the next century are directly related to forest diebacks.[5]
