Summer drought exposure, stand structure, and soil properties jointly control the growth of European beech along a steep precipitation gradient in northern Germany
Increasing exposure to climate warming‐related drought and heat threatens forest vitality in
many regions on earth, with the trees' vulnerability likely depending on local climatic aridity …

Drought reduces water uptake in beech from the drying topsoil, but no compensatory uptake occurs from deeper soil layers
The intensity and frequency of droughts events are projected to increase in future with
expected adverse effects for forests. Thus, information on the dynamics of tree water uptake …
