Abstract:The extreme drought events in the last years caused high mortality amongst European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) across Central Europe. Thus, knowledge of the response of beech to drought and its ability to recover its xylem and leaf functions after drought release is needed to better understand beech survival. In this study, changes in xylem function, leaf gas exchange, chlorophyll fluorescence and morphology of European beech saplings during drought and recovery phases were assessed. Beech saplings were expose… Show more
