Abstract Background and Aims Despite the importance of growth [CO2] and water
availability for tree growth and survival, little information is available on how the interplay of …

Forests are threatened globally by increased recurrence and intensity of hot droughts.
Functionally close coexisting species may exhibit differences in drought vulnerability large …

Forests cover 31% of the terrestrial surface of the Earth (Keenan et al. 2015) and provide
myriad ecosystem services including climate regulation, carbon and nutrient storage, water …

Understanding how trees prioritize carbon gain at the cost of drought vulnerability under
severe drought conditions is crucial for predicting which genetic groups and individuals will …

Widespread drought-induced tree mortality has been documented around the world, and
could increase in frequency and intensity under warmer and drier conditions …

The responses of growth and transpiration efficiency (W= biomass accumulation/water
consumption) to ambient and elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations (350 and 700 μmol …

Models of tree responses to climate typically project that elevated atmospheric CO 2
concentration (eC a) will reduce drought impacts on forests. We tested one of the …

Trees are increasingly exposed to hot droughts due to CO2‐induced climate change.
However, the direct role of [CO2] in altering tree physiological responses to drought and …

Abstract Effects of water supply on gas exchange, carbon isotopic composition, and relative
growth rate were compared among seedlings from three populations of ponderosa pine …

Elevated atmospheric CO 2 concentration (eCO 2) is expected to mitigate the adverse
effects of moderate drought on leaf and whole-tree functioning. However, tree responses to …
