Brief description Identifying regions of high drought mortality risk for tree species in NSW. Trees define our landscapes and are crucial for ecosystem services including biodiversity, carbon sequestration and prevention of soil erosion. Drought is a major threat to tree survival across Australia and is being exacerbated by rising temperatures and changing rainfall patterns due to climate change. This project aims to calculate the risk of drought mortality for key tree species across New South Wales in current and future climates. It aims to integrate four independent, complementary research streams to develop robust probabilistic risk profiles that account for variation in drought intensity and species resilience over landscapes. These risk profiles will be fundamental to conservation planning and land management across New South Wales.
