A combined severe heatwave and drought, starting in 2018 and lasting for several months,
restarted the discussion on the resistance of European beech to climatic changes, with …

Abstract Key Message Beech growth acclimated better during severe drought and recovered
faster than spruce after drought ended. This was associated with a shift in performance …

European beech is one of the most common tree species in Europe and is generally
suggested to play even more of a prominent role in forestry in the future. It seems to have the …

Sap flow is widely used to estimate the transpiration and water consumption of canopies and
to manage water resources. In this paper, an improved time series prediction model was …

Climate change (CC) seriously threatens global water resources, exacerbating extreme
water scarcity issues, especially in agriculture. Evapotranspiration (ET) is one of the …

Transpiration is a key biogeochemical process, accounting for more than half of the
evaporative water fluxes from land to the atmosphere; however, its quantification is still a hot …

Understanding developments in the trunk sap flow of prevalent tree species within the hilly
areas of the Haihe River basin is imperative for ecosystem conservation. Nevertheless, the …

Image analysis is a promising method for in situ leaf area measurement. However, as leaves
are three-dimensional, the use of two-dimensional images captured using a digital camera …

This study explores the nuanced influence of microclimatic conditions on beech stand
acclimatization throughout the vegetational season. Three closely situated localities on a …

The leaf traits measured in multiple species are known to vary between seasons, but there is
a knowledge gap relating to the seasonal variability and environmental adaptation of plants …
