Leaf Morphological Traits and Leaf Nutrient Concentrations of European Beech Across a Water Availability Gradient in Switzerland

Leaf Morphological Traits and Leaf Nutrient Concentrations of European Beech Across a Water Availability Gradient in Switzerland

Climate change and the expected increase in frequency of dry summers are likely to affect the growth of important tree species. We investigated relationships between morphological and chemical leaf traits of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and environmental factors along a water availability gra...
