Global temperatures have risen rapidly in recent decades, leading to more frequent extreme events such as droughts, heatwaves and their co-occurrence — so-called hot droughts1. These events have caused widespread and abrupt leaf discolouration in temperate forests, as observed during the 2021 Pacific Northwest heat dome and the 2018 and 2022 European widespread hot droughts. Because leaf colour change is commonly associated with autumn senescence, such discolouration is often interpreted as premature or stress-induced senescence…
