High risk of growth cessation of planted larch under extreme drought
Environmental Research Letters, 2021 Larch trees are widely used in afforestation and timber plantations. Yet, little is known on how planted larch trees cope with increasing drought. We used a tree-ring network of 818 trees from 31 plantations spanning most of the distribution of Larix ...
