Drought legacies and ecosystem responses to subsequent drought

Lena M. Mueller et al.

Summary: Climate change is expected to increase the frequency and severity of droughts, leading to long-term impacts on ecosystem structure and functioning. Understanding drought legacies and their underlying mechanisms is crucial for assessing the consequences of droughts on ecosystems.

Field experiments underestimate aboveground biomass response to drought

Gyorgy Kroel-Dulay et al.

Summary: The study compares experimental and observational approaches in studying the impacts of climate change on ecosystems and finds that experimental results underestimate the effects of drought, suggesting the need for integration of different research methods.

Turgor - a limiting factor for radial growth in mature conifers along an elevational gradient

Richard L. Peters et al.

Summary: Wood formation processes are strongly influenced by environmental factors, with warmer and drier summers reducing growth rates. Turgor-driven growth should be considered in global vegetation models to accurately represent forest carbon sinks.

Inner bark as a crucial tissue for non-structural carbohydrate storage across three tropical woody plant communities

Julieta A. Rosell et al.

Summary: Our study found that the inner bark plays a crucial role in the storage of non-structural carbohydrates, contributing significantly to the total NSC, soluble sugar, and starch pools. NSC concentrations varied widely across organs and species within communities, but were not significantly affected by climate, leaf habit, or photosynthetic bark presence. Starch concentration tended to increase with density, but only in wood.

Seeking the point of no return in the sequence of events leading to mortality of mature trees

Yakir Preisler et al.

Summary: The study identified three stages leading to tree mortality: decrease in tree diameter, loss of stem radial water flow, and cessation of stem sap flow. These stages demonstrated the differential effects of drought on stem growth, water storage capacity, and soil water uptake, highlighting the critical role of breakdown of stem radial water flow in defining the point of no return in tree mortality events.

Europe under multi-year droughts: how severe was the 2014-2018 drought period?

Vojtech Moravec et al.

Summary: The study reveals that the 2018 European drought significantly impacted vegetation, particularly in terms of high severity of soil moisture drought in Central Europe and the Mediterranean. The repeated stress exposure of multi-year droughts in Central Europe may have significant impacts on ecosystem functioning.

The Kroof experiment: realization and efficacy of a recurrent drought experiment plus recovery in a beech/spruce forest

Thorsten E. E. Grams et al.

Summary: Researchers conducted a throughfall exclusion experiment to study the impact of extreme drought on mature forest trees. The findings showed that drought led to reduced tree growth and fine root abundance, as well as changes in mycorrhizal community composition. Careful watering can quickly restore the water status of drought-stressed trees, but growth recovery remains slow.

Recent European drought extremes beyond Common Era background variability

Ulf Buentgen et al.

Summary: The study shows that the recent summer droughts in Europe since 2015 are unprecedented in the past 2,110 years, likely caused by anthropogenic warming and associated changes in the position of the summer jet stream.

Repetitive seasonal drought causes substantial species-specific shifts in fine-root longevity and spatio-temporal production patterns in mature temperate forest trees

Marie J. Zwetsloot et al.

Summary: The study investigated the impact of drought on fine-root dynamics of European beech and Norway spruce using minirhizotron methods. It found that the fine-root production of both species decreased under drought, but intermixing them can alleviate the impact on Norway spruce. Additionally, species-specific responses to drought were observed.

Rapid hydraulic collapse as cause of drought-induced mortality in conifers

Matthias Arend et al.

Summary: The study found that Norway spruce adult trees experienced rapid dehydration and hydraulic collapse during the 2018 Central European drought, indicating a higher mortality risk than previously assumed. The nonlinear decline in tree water relations is crucial for predicting tree death outcomes.

Why trees grow at night

Roman Zweifel et al.

Summary: The study found that trees mainly grow at night and that high VPD limits radial stem growth, with little growth during daylight hours. However, some trees are able to grow in moderately dry conditions with low VPD. Species-specific differences in growth dynamics affect the annual growth increment.

Manipulating phloem transport affects wood formation but not local nonstructural carbon reserves in an evergreen conifer

Tim Rademacher et al.

Summary: This study manipulated carbon supply to the cambial region in mature white pines and found that low and high carbon supply primarily affect wood formation through strong effects on cell proliferation and respiration. However, local nonstructural carbon concentrations seem to be maintained homeostatically.
