Stomatal sensitivity to VPD across 38 tree species reflects past drought responses but is little explained by stomatal and leaf economic traits

Lena Sachsenmaier, Ronny Richter, Camilla Ahner…·Christian Wirth

The paper quantifies stomatal responses to vapour pressure deficit in 38 tree species and finds that these responses vary widely and are not strongly linked to common leaf traits.

Functional traits explain growth resistance to successive hotter droughts across a wide set of common and future tree species in Europe

Lena Kretz, Florian Schnabel, Ronny Richter…·Christian Wirth

The paper examines how tree growth responds to consecutive hotter droughts using functional traits and finds that growth resistance is influenced by traits related to drought tolerance and resource acquisition.

Above- and below-ground trait coordination across 90 angiosperm and gymnosperm tree species

Anvar Sanaei, Karl Andraczek, Lena Kretz…·Alexandra Weigelt

The paper measures leaf and fine-root traits across 90 tree species to assess coordination between above- and below-ground traits and resource strategies.
