The Role of the Intraspecific Variability of Hydraulic Traits for Modeling the Plant Water Use in Different European Forest Ecosystems

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems
The drought resilience of forest ecosystems is generally believed to depend on the dominant tree species' hydraulic traits. These traits define the maximum water transport capacity and the degree of vulnerability to hydraulic failure of a tree species ...
