Open AccessClimatic control of high-resolution stem radius changes in a drought-limited southern boreal forest
Stem radius changes measured at high temporal resolution in a drought-limited southern boreal forest were primarily related to soil temperature and partly soil moisture variation, but only weakly to VPD.

Lysimeter
It is challenging to study the mechanisms underlying the dynamics of water in the soil–plant–atmosphere continuum. Although micrometeorological techniques are widely used in hydrology, their applicability is t...

Open AccessProvenance- and life-history stage-specific responses of the dwarf shrub Calluna vulgaris to elevated vapour pressure deficit
Climate change may alter microscale-effective ecosystem properties such as atmospheric water vapour pressure, but consequences for plant growth are insufficiently understood. Within a northwest German heathlan...

Water sources of plant uptake along a salt marsh flooding gradient
Salt marsh plants are affected by regular tidal inundation exposing them to saline water as a potential water source. This study aimed at quantifying the water uptake of plants depending on their distance from...

Root competition between beech and oak: a hypothesis
Little is known about below-ground competition between different tree species in mixed forests. We investigated the evidence for asymmetric competition between fine roots (<2 mm) of adult European beech (Fagus sy...
