Hurricane-induced structural disturbance amplifies forest vulnerability to subsequent heatwaves
Sequential hurricane-heatwave events threaten forest resilience via understudied legacy effects. Using Bayesian Structural Time Series, piecewise Structural Equation Modeling, and a 21-event global synthesis, we quantify how structural degradation non-linearly amplifies productivity loss during subsequent heatwaves. Our Hurricane Michael (2018) case study reveals significant negative GPP legacy…
