Redistribution of soil water by mature trees towards dry surface soils and uptake by seedlings in a temperate forest

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Mature beech trees redistributed soil water, equal to ca. 10% of stand transpiration, from deeper moist soils to dry surface soils, where it was taken up by seedlings of different tree species. Abstract Hydraulic redistribution is considered a crucial dryland mechanism that may be important in temperate environments facing increased soil drying–wetting

Functional traits explain growth response to successive hotter droughts across a wide set of common and future tree species in Europe

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Functional traits can explain significant tree growth reductions in response to the 2018–2020 drought for a wide set of 71 species including angiosperms and gymnosperms. Moreover, four distinct response types emerged: ‘Sufferer’, ‘Late sufferer’, ‘Recoverer’ and ‘Resister’, with gymnosperms predominately appearing as ‘Sufferer’ and ‘Late sufferer ...

Dual Polarimetric Radar Vegetation Index for monitoring forest moisture stress using time series of Sentinel‐1 SAR data

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates the potential of the Sentinel‐1 Dual Polarimetric Radar Vegetation Index, combined with climate variables and the Standardized Precipitation–Evapotranspiration Index, to effectively detect and monitor drought‐induced stress in temperate broadleaf deciduous forests.

Drought legacy in mature spruce alleviates physiological stress during recurrent drought

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The slow recovery of leaf area in mature spruce following a long‐term drought alleviated physiological stress during recurrent drought. Abstract Forest ecosystems are facing severe and prolonged droughts with delayed recovery, known as “drought legacy”.

Root water uptake depth in temperate forest trees: species‐specific patterns shaped by neighbourhood and environment

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Root water uptake strategies vary among temperate tree species (European beech, Douglas fir, and Norway spruce), with beech–conifer mixtures altering water uptake depths, while site conditions and temporal dynamics further shape the contribution of different soil depths to water supply.

Impact of emerging compound droughts on forests: A water supply and demand perspective

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review examines the physiological and ecological responses of trees to emerging compound droughts from a water demand and supply perspective, as well as the role of acclimation and consequences for ecosystem‐level functions. Abstract The intensification of climate change‐induced drought results in unprecedented tree and forest die‐offs worldwide ...
