Magnitude and timing of density reduction are key for the resilience to severe drought in conifer-broadleaf mixed forests in Central Europe
Key message We applied a modified forest gap model (ForClim) to depict changes in stand
water transpiration via density reduction as a forest adaptation strategy. This approach is the …
