Sensing stresses adaptation at the whole-tree scale at VPDrought in Pfynwald https://www.wsl.ch/de/projekte/sensing-stresses-adaptation-at-the-whole-tree-scale-at-vpdrought-in-pfynwald/
During periods of low water availability, trees differently modulate C and H2O fluxes to balance photosynthesis, growth, and other metabolic activities. However, we still do not know how increased vapor pressure deficit (VPD) and reduced soil water availability periods affect whole-tree hydraulics.
To efficiently manage these processes, trees have developed various water-use strategies
