Stem water storage in five coexisting temperate broad-leaved tree species: significance, temporal dynamics and dependence on tree functional traits
P Köcher, V Horna, C Leuschner - Tree physiology, 2013 - academic.oup.com
The functional role of internal water storage is increasingly well understood in tropical trees
and conifers, while temperate broad-leaved trees have only rarely been studied. We
examined the magnitude and dynamics of the use of stem water reserves for transpiration in
five coexisting temperate broad-leaved trees with largely different morphology and
physiology (genera Fagus, Fraxinus, Tilia, Carpinus and Acer). We expected that differences
in water storage patterns would mostly reflect species differences in wood anatomy (ring vs …
