Short summary
Our study investigates the temperature, precipitation, humidity, and soil moisture conditions leading to the browning of the European forests in summer. Using a Random Forest model and satellite measurements of vegetation greenness, we identify key conditions to predict forest damage. We conclude that hot and dry conditions in spring and summer are adverse conditions. The conditions during the preceding year can also have an impact, with the relevant period varying by forest type.
