Alpine species and drought: impacts of timing of dry events on leaf growth and senescence
Drought effects on plants can depend on timing, especially in seasonal ecosystems. Using a mesocosm, we assessed impacts of zero-precipitation timing and duration on six species typical of one of the most widespread alpine grasslands in the Alps. Four two-month treatments were applied: control (C), continuous irriga...
