Turgor loss point explains climate‐driven growth reductions in trees in Central Europe

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Leaf turgor loss point of native tree species shows a high predictive power over the observed growth anomalies in Central Europe during the extensive drought period between 2018 and 2020. Abstract As climate change thrives, and the frequency of intense droughts is affecting many forested regions, a mechanistic understanding of the factors conferring ...

Mixing oak and pine trees in Mediterranean forests increases aboveground hydraulic dysfunctions

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Mixing oak and pine trees enhances hydraulic impairments of all species, although diversity can mitigate drought stress during extended drought periods. Abstract Increasing tree species diversity in Mediterranean forests could reduce drought‐induced hydraulic impairments through improved microclimate and reduced competition for water.

Linking sap flow and tree water deficit in an unmanaged, mixed beech forest during the summer drought 2022

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Sap flow and reversible stem shrinkage upon water depletion are strongly correlated under extreme drought conditions, but they respond differently to drought and cannot be used interchangeably when assessing tree response to drought. Abstract Temperate mixed forests are currently experiencing severe drought conditions and face increased risk of ...

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 ...

Positive mixture effects in pine–oak forests during drought are context‐dependent

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Mixture effects in drought‐stressed pine‐oak forests are context‐dependent, with Gambel oak and ponderosa pine benefiting from their complementarity under semi‐arid conditions. Abstract The increasing severity and frequency of droughts will play a pivotal role in shaping future forest ecosystems worldwide.
