Tree vitality indicators revealed a rapid response of beech forests to the 2018 drought

Brigitte Rohner et al.

Summary: The study investigated the impact of a severe 2018 summer drought on beech trees in the Swiss National Forest Inventory, finding that affected trees suffered significant losses in growth and carbon sequestration, which partially recovered in 2019. Since the standard forest health assessment methods were unable to capture these effects, the authors suggest opportunities for adapting the assessment design to better reflect the impacts of climate change.

From the comfort zone to crown dieback: Sequence of physiological stress thresholds in mature European beech trees across progressive drought

Lorenz Walthert et al.

Summary: This study aimed to develop an empirical stress-level scheme to describe the physiological response of mature European beech trees to drought. The researchers identified five stress levels based on the observed responses to decreasing water potential. They found that exposure to stress levels III-V for only one month was enough to trigger substantial crown dieback in beech trees on shallow soils, while deep soil with high water holding capacity prevented drought stress in beech trees.

Organic contamination detection for isotopic analysis of water by laser spectroscopy

Cody Millar et al.

Summary: Organic contamination can cause significant errors in IRIS stable isotope results, with methanol having a larger impact than ethanol. The O-17-excess method is highly sensitive for detecting narrowband (methanol) contamination errors in both vapour and liquid analysis modes.
