Wood type influences tree responses to recurring hot and dry summer tree water deficits across European forests

Increasingly frequent summer droughts are intensifying stem dehydration across European forests, constraining tree growth and resilience. Even mild water-related stress can inhibit tree growth, although its impact is species-specific. Tree water deficit (TWD), a measure deduced from radial stem contraction during droug...

When the night is not long enough: soil drying constrains nighttime tree rehydration, setting a physical limit to stomatal regulation

Abstract Plants are often assumed to optimize carbon assimilation against water loss through stomatal regulation, responding instantaneously to varying atmospheric demand and soil water supply. However, a growing body of work highlights the importance of nighttime recovery processes for understanding plant water use, y...
