    Plasticity in hydraulic architecture of Scots pine across Eurasia

    Widespread tree species must show physiological and structural plasticity to deal with contrasting water balance conditions. To investigate these plasticity mechanisms, a meta-analysis of Pinus sylvestris L. sap ...

    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...

    Biogeochemistry of Two Forested Catchments in a Changing Environment: A Synthesis

    The environmental conditions that influence the functioning of our catchments have changed substantially in the last two decades. These changes comprise chemical and physical properties of the atmosphere and t...

    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 ...

    The relationship between tree height and leaf area: sapwood area ratio

    The leaf area to sapwood area ratio (A l:A s) of trees has been hypothesized to decrease as trees become older and taller. Theory suggests that A l:A s must decrease to maintain leaf-specific hydraulic sufficien...

    Photosynthetic capacity, chloroplast pigments, and mineral content of the previous year's spruce needles with and without the new flush: analysis of the forest-decline phenomenon of needle bleaching

    Spruce (Picea abies) damage in the Fichtelgebirge (FRG) occurs as needle bleaching and a depression of CO2 assimilation. Such injury may primarily result from the direct, above-ground effects of air pollution or ...
