Giant sequoias have fared better than other tree species in California's recent hotter drought, but many have shown unprecedented foliage dieback in response to the drought.

The Vegetation Drought Response Index (VegDRI) incorporates satellite observations of vegetation to monitor at a finer spatial detail than other commonly used drought indicators.
