Ectomycorrhizas and water relations of trees: a review
T Lehto, JJ Zwiazek - Mycorrhiza, 2011 - Springer
There is plenty of evidence for improved nutrient acquisition by ectomycorrhizas in trees;
however, their role in water uptake is much less clear. In addition to experiments showing …

Improving the representation of roots in terrestrial models
Root biomass, root production and lifespan, and root-mycorrhizal interactions govern soil
carbon fluxes and resource uptake and are critical components of terrestrial models …

The combined effects of a long‐term experimental drought and an extreme drought on the use of plant‐water sources in a Mediterranean forest
Vegetation in water‐limited ecosystems relies strongly on access to deep water reserves to
withstand dry periods. Most of these ecosystems have shallow soils over deep groundwater …

Root functioning, tree water use and hydraulic redistribution in Quercus suber trees: A modeling approach based on root sap flow
Mediterranean evergreen oaks have to survive a long summer drought. Roots may play a
relevant role under these conditions. We studied their structure and function in a mature …

Water uptake and hydraulic redistribution across large woody root systems to 20 m depth
Deep water uptake and hydraulic redistribution (HR) are important processes in many
forests, savannas and shrublands. We investigated HR in a semi‐arid woodland above a …

Trees never rest: the multiple facets of hydraulic redistribution
The upward movement of water due to transpiration stops when soil water potential (Ψs)
drops below leaf water potential (ΨL). Under these circumstances, water can move in any …

Contrasting strategies of hydraulic control in two codominant temperate tree species
Biophysical controls on plant water status exist at the leaf, stem, and root levels. Therefore,
we pose that hydraulic strategy is a combination of traits governing water use at each of …

Evidence of hydraulic lift in a young beech and oak mixed forest using 18O soil water labelling
M Zapater, C Hossann, N Bréda, C Bréchet, D Bonal… - Trees, 2011 - Springer
Hydraulic lift (HL) by tree roots in a young, broad-leaved, mixed temperate European forest
was investigated during the 2008 growing season by injecting 18 O-enriched soil water at a …

Ectomycorrhizal inoculation with Pisolithus tinctorius reduces stress induced by drought in cork oak
We investigated whether the performance of cork oak under drought could be improved by
colonization with the ectomycorrhizal fungus Pisolithus tinctorius. Results show that …

Species-specific water use by forest tree species: From the tree to the stand
Forests play a critical role in the hydrological cycle making the study of water use by trees
and forest stands of prime importance in the global change context. Very negative effects of …
