Canopy‐scale VPD reduction in a mature forest alters stomatal response to soil drought in Pinus sylvestris L.

Summary Understanding how trees respond to interacting soil and atmospheric droughts is crucial for predicting forest resilience under climate change. However, no experiment has yet jointly manipulated vapor pressure deficit (VPD) and soil moisture in forests, limiting our abilit...

Drought tolerance and mortality risk of European beech

Little is known about the drought-induced mortality risk for most tree species. This makes it difficult to predict their future distribution. Here, we quantified the drought tolerance and mortality risk of the economically important European beech ( Fagus sylvatica L.) by analysi...
