Effects of defoliation and drought stress on biomass partitioning and water relations of Quercus robur and Quercus petraea
T Gieger, FM Thomas - Basic and Applied ecology, 2002 - Elsevier
To test the isolated and combined effects of drought and defoliation on biomass partitioning
and water relations, four-year-old saplings of Quercus robur L. and Q. petraea (Matt.) Liebl.
were investigated under controlled conditions. It was hypothesized that defoliation leads to a
reduction of late wood and that, as a consequence, subsequent drought stress will more
rapidly lead to desiccation damage due to the loss of reserves in water transport capacity.
Alternatively, defoliation could have a negative effect on water relations via a growth …
