Hydro‐Functional Traits and Their Dissimilarity to the Neighbourhood Buffer Tree Growth Against the 2018–2020 Central European Drought Climate change is putting forests at risk. Our research shows that a tree's water-use strategy largely determines its growth across years: whereas one strategy performs better in normal years, the ot....

Over 2,600🌳 #trees during the 2018–2020 #drought :
• Traits disadvantageous in normal years became beneficial under drought
• Trees grew better with neighbours whose hydro-functional traits differed from their own

Revisiting Paradigms Related to Root Hydraulic Limitation Under Drought In vascular plants, the long-distance water transport between organs occurs under tension. Because it is difficult to study a system under negative pressure without measurement artefacts, the field of...

We re-evaluate several root hydraulic paradigms and show that they are outdated (doi.org/10.1007/124_...). Thanks to ‪@mutezahmed.bsky.social‬‬, @profchoat.bsky.social, @sdelzon.bsky.social, @peterpetrik94.bsky.social, @torresruizjm.bsky.social, @scottmcadam.bsky.social‬ and others.‬
