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 ...

Lessons learned from a long-term irrigation experiment in a dry Scots pine forest: Impacts on traits and functioning

Leonie Corine Schönbeck

Climate change exposes ecosystems to strong and rapid changes in their environmental boundary conditions mainly due to the altered temperature and precipitation patterns. It is still poorly understood how fast interlinked ecosystem processes respond to alt ...

Soil nutrient availability alters tree carbon allocation dynamics during drought

Leonie Corine Schönbeck

Drought alters allocation patterns of carbon (C) and nutrients in trees and eventually impairs tree functioning. Elevated soil nutrient availability might alter the response of trees to drought. We hypothesize that increased soil nutrient availability stim ...

Drone-based physiological index reveals long-term acclimation and drought stress responses in trees

Leonie Corine Schönbeck

Monitoring early tree physiological responses to drought is key to understanding progressive impacts of drought on forests and identifying resilient species. We combined drone-based multispectral remote sensing with measurements of tree physiology and envi ...

Root carbon and nutrient homeostasis determines downy oak sapling survival and recovery from drought

Leonie Corine Schönbeck

The role of carbon (C) and nutrient uptake, allocation, storage and especially their interactions in survival and recovery of trees under increased frequencies and intensities of drought events is not well understood. A full factorial experiment with four ...
