Atmospheric and Structural Controls on Carbon and Water Relations in Mixed-Forest Stands of Beech and Oak
The natural vegetation of central Europe is dominated by European beech (Fagus sylvatica) increasingly mixed with pedunculate oak (Quercus robur) in dry lowlands and sessile oak (Quercus petraea) in lower montane...

Impacts of Canopy Internal Gradients on Carbon and Water Exchange of Beech and Oak Trees
Identifying the relevance of forest structure for stand photosynthesis and transpiration is one of the remaining challenges in plant physiological ecology. While leaves and their stomata are the causal agents ...

Deciduous Forests: Carbon and Water Fluxes, Balances and Ecophysiological Determinants
Among the five EUROFLUX broad-leaved sites, four are beech stands and one is a poplar plantation. These sites are spread over a wide range of climatic conditions: mid-oceanic (France), continental (Germany) an...
