Recurrent hot droughts cause persistent legacy effects in a temperate Scots Pine forest
A series of hot drought events caused persistent legacy effects in a Scots Pine forest, with severe negative impacts on ecosystem carbon fluxes. Abstract Recent hot‐dry events have caused significant impacts and legacy effects in temperate ecosystems. Here, we investigate legacy effects of the 2018 hot drought on a Pinus sylvestris L.
