Resistance of European tree species to drought stress in mixed versus pure forests: evidence of stress release by inter‐specific facilitation
H Pretzsch, G Schütze, E Uhl - Plant biology, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
While previous studies focused on tree growth in pure stands, we reveal that tree resistance
and resilience to drought stress can be modified distinctly through species mixing. Our study …
