Physiological recovery of tree water relations upon drought release—response of mature beech and spruce after five years of recurrent summer drought
Repeated summer drought changes the radial xylem sap flow profile in mature Norway spruce but not in European beech
Dynamics of initial carbon allocation after drought release in mature Norway spruce—Increased belowground allocation of current photoassimilates covers only half of the carbon used for fine‐root growth
