Adverse and mitigating impacts of warming on tree carbon cycling
Recent decades have been characterized by increasing temperatures worldwide, resulting in an exponential climb in vapor pressure deficit (VPD). Heat and VPD has been identified as an increasingly important driver of plant functioning in terrestrial biomes ...
2023Warming may extend tree growing seasons and compensate for reduced carbon uptake during dry periods
Charlotte Grossiord, Christoph Bachofen, Yann Vitasse, Eugénie Isabelle Mas, Margaux Clara Lou Didion-Gency
- Warming and drought alter plant phenology, photosynthesis and growth with important consequences for the global carbon cycle and the earth’s climate. Yet, few studies have attempted to tease apart their effects on tree phenology, particularly leaf senes ...
Increasing temperature and vapor pressure deficit lead to hydraulic damages in the absence of soil drought
Pascal Turberg, Charlotte Grossiord, Eugénie Isabelle Mas, Laura Mekarni, Philipp Schuler, Leonie Corine Schönbeck
Temperature (T) and vapor pressure deficit (VPD) are important drivers of plant hydraulic conductivity, growth, mortality, and ecosystem productivity, independently of soil water availability. Our goal was to disentangle the effects of T and VPD on plant h ...
Wiley2022Photosynthetic acclimation and sensitivity to short- and long-term environmental changes in a drought-prone forest
Future climate will be characterized by an increase in frequency and duration of drought and warming that exacerbates atmospheric evaporative demand. How trees acclimate to long-term soil moisture changes and whether these long-term changes alter trees' se ...
OXFORD UNIV PRESS2022Stability of tropical forest tree carbon-water relations in a rainfall exclusion treatment through shifts in effective water uptake depth
Increasing severity and frequency of drought is predicted for large portions of the terrestrial biosphere, with major impacts already documented in wet tropical forests. Using a 4-year rainfall exclusion experiment in the Daintree Rainforest in northeast A ...
WILEY2021Both diversity and functional composition affect productivity and water use efficiency in experimental temperate grasslands
Charlotte Grossiord, Margaux Clara Lou Didion-Gency
Many experiments have shown that biodiversity promotes ecosystem functioning and stability and that this relationship varies with resource availability. However, we still have a poor understanding of the underlying physiological and ecological mechanisms d ...
WILEY2021Plant wax and carbon isotope response to heat and drought in the conifer Juniperus monosperma
Plant waxes, including n-alkanes, are commonly used for a wide range of paleo-applications. Several common traits of n-alkanes that are used as paleo-proxies include chain length distribution and average chain length (ACL), as well as plant wax carbon and ...
2021Foliar respiration is related to photosynthetic, growth and carbohydrate response to experimental drought and elevated temperature
Short-term plant respiration (R) increases exponentially with rising temperature, but drought could reduce respiration by reducing growth and metabolism. Acclimation may alter these responses. We examined if species with different drought responses would d ...
WILEY2021Tree growth, transpiration, and water-use efficiency between shoreline and upland red maple (Acer rubrum) trees in a coastal forest
Coastal shoreline forests are vulnerable to seawater exposure, the impacts of which will increase due to sea-level rise, but the long-term adaptation strategies and vulnerability of coastal forests are not well understood. We used whole-tree transpiration, ...
2020Plant and root‐zone water isotopes are difficult to measure, explain, and predict: some practical recommendations for determining plant water sources
Charlotte Grossiord, Jana Freiin von Freyberg
Stable isotope ratios of water (𝛿 18O,𝛿 2H) have long been used to study a core question in plant ecology and ecohydrology: “From where do plants take up water?” Indeed, decades of research has involved sampling potential plant water sources in the subsurf ...
