Drought Primarily Reduces Canopy Transpiration of Exposed Beech Trees and Decreases the Share of Water Uptake from Deeper Soil Layers
Research Highlights: During drought, reduced soil water availability and increased vapor pressure deficit diminished transpiration in a mature beech stand (<i>Fagus sylvatica</i> L.). Dominant trees were more affected than suppressed trees. The share of soil water uptake from deeper laye...
