Worldwide, larger trees suffer most following extreme drought, which likewise seems to apply to European beech in response to the exceptional 2018/19 drought, see here: doi.org/10.1016/j.fo.... Great work by @jsrieder.bsky.social as part of her DFG-funded PhD project BEECHDECLINE.

Back to the roots! Can plants avoid water stress by moving water uptake to deeper soil?
Find out in this IMPRS PhD project, coop with @chriswernerlab.bsky.social, @bernhardschuldt.bsky.social and a whole consortium investigating plant hydraulics

Over 2,600🌳 #trees during the 2018–2020 #drought :
• Traits disadvantageous in normal years became beneficial under drought
• Trees grew better with neighbours whose hydro-functional traits differed from their own

Hydro‐Functional Traits and Their Dissimilarity to the Neighbourhood Buffer Tree Growth Against the 2018–2020 Central European Drought
Climate change is putting forests at risk. Our research shows that a tree's water-use strategy largely determines its growth across years: whereas one strategy performs better in normal years, the ot....

We re-evaluate several root hydraulic paradigms and show that they are outdated (doi.org/10.1007/124_...). Thanks to @mutezahmed.bsky.social, @profchoat.bsky.social, @sdelzon.bsky.social, @peterpetrik94.bsky.social, @torresruizjm.bsky.social, @scottmcadam.bsky.social and others.
Revisiting Paradigms Related to Root Hydraulic Limitation Under Drought
In vascular plants, the long-distance water transport between organs occurs under tension. Because it is difficult to study a system under negative pressure without measurement artefacts, the field of...
