TL;DR: It is concluded that pine trees under drought stress build a more effective water-conducting system at the cost of a probably higher vulnerability to cavitation (larger tracheids with thinner cell walls) but without losing their capability to recover.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated how temporal patterns of microclimate below sparse and dense forest canopy related to those of nearby open areas and how this relationship was influenced by soil moisture and seasonality.

TL;DR: Modelling results support the findings that seasonal tree-ring δ(18) O variations are captured best when the week-to-week variations of the leaf water signal are suppressed, and suggest that climate signals in tree- ring δ-18 O variations should be strongest at temperate sites with humid conditions and precipitation maxima during the growing season.

TL;DR: A simple drought index before and during the irrigation explained most of the variation found in the parameters for both irrigated and control trees, indicating that seemingly declining trees were able to 'recover' when water supply became sufficient.

TL;DR: In this article, a database of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in soil solution was compiled and analyzed with the aim of quantifying the differences in DOC concentrations among terrestrial ecosystems, climate zones, soil, and vegetation types at global scale and identifying potential determinants of the site-to-site variability of DOC concentration in soil solutions.
