Mature beech trees redistribute soil water, equal to ca. 10% of stand #transpiration, from deeper moist #soils to dry surface soils, where seedlings of different #tree species take it up. New #hydraulicredistribution paper with TUM & BoKu Ecophys groups: doi.org/10.1111/plb....
Redistribution of soil water by mature trees towards dry surface soils and uptake by seedlings in a temperate forest
Mature beech trees redistributed soil water, equal to ca. 10% of stand transpiration, from deeper moist soils to dry surface soils, where it was taken up by seedlings of different tree species.
