Quantifying Dynamic Changes in Stem Storage-Water Use and Rehydration in Mature Trees: A Study on Pinus sylvestris Trees Exposed to Increased Atmospheric and Soil Drought.
Forests increasingly experience hot droughts, characterized by rising vapour pressure deficits (VPD) and declining soil moisture, highlighting the need to better understand water fluxes within trees. While stomatal conductance and transpiration are well studied, upstream fluxes such as internal stem water storage use a...
