Drought response of five conifer species under contrasting water availability suggests high vulnerability of Norway spruce and European larch
M Lévesque, M Saurer, R Siegwolf… - Global Change …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
The ability of tree species to cope with anticipated decrease in water availability is still poorly

Vertical decoupling of soil nutrients and water under climate warming reduces plant cumulative nutrient uptake, water‐use efficiency and productivity
JI Querejeta, W Ren, I Prieto - New Phytologist, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Warming‐induced desiccation of the fertile topsoil layer could lead to decreased nutrient
diffusion, mobility, mineralization and uptake by roots. Increased vertical decoupling …

Long-term thinning effects on tree growth, drought response and water use efficiency at two Aleppo pine plantations in Spain
In Mediterranean areas where drought-induced forest dieback and tree mortality have been
widely reported, it is still under debate how the likely risks of climate change will affect tree …

Increased water‐use efficiency does not lead to enhanced tree growth under xeric and mesic conditions
Higher atmospheric CO2 concentrations (ca) can under certain conditions increase tree
growth by enhancing photosynthesis, resulting in an increase of intrinsic water‐use …

Drought impacts on tree carbon sequestration and water use–evidence from intra‐annual tree‐ring characteristics
The impact of climate extremes on forest ecosystems is poorly understood but important for
predicting carbon and water cycle feedbacks to climate. Some knowledge gaps still remain …

Drought stress, growth and nonstructural carbohydrate dynamics of pine trees in a semi-arid forest
In trees exposed to prolonged drought, both carbon uptake (C source) and growth (C sink)
typically decrease. This correlation raises two important questions:(i) to what degree is tree …
