Will a 385 million year‐struggle for light become a struggle for water and for carbon?–How trees may cope with more frequent climate change‐type drought events
H Hartmann - Global Change Biology, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Trees are exceptional organisms that have evolved over some 385 million years and have
overtaken other plants in order to harvest light first. However, this advantage comes with a …
