Comparing statistical and mechanistic models to identify the drivers of mortality within a rear-edge beech population
Since several studies have been reporting an increase in the decline of forests, a major issue in ecology is to better understand and predict tree mortality. The interactions between the different factors…

Interaction of drought and frost in tree ecophysiology: rethinking the timing of risks
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13595-021-01052- Abstract • Key message The increase in climate variability is likely to generate an increased occurrence of both frost-induced and drought-induced damages on perennial plants. We examined how these stress factors…

Challenges for drought assessment in the Mediterranean region under future climate scenarios
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0012825220303949 Abstract Droughts can have strong environmental and socio-economic impacts in the Mediterranean region, in particular for countries relying on rain-fed agricultural production, but also in areas in which irrigation plays an…

Intra-specific variability in deep water extraction between trees growing on a Mediterranean karst
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S002216942030888X Abstract Plant transpiration is a major component of water fluxes in the critical zone, which needs to be better characterized to improve our ability to understand and model the hydrological cycle.…

Tree xylem water isotope analysis by Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry and Laser Spectrometry: a dataset to explore tree response to drought
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352340920302432 Water isotopes from plant xylem and surrounding environment are increasingly used in eco-hydrological studies. Carrière et al. [1] analyzed a dataset of water isotopes in (i) the xylem of three different tree…

Impact of local soil and subsoil conditions on inter-individual variations in tree responses to drought: insights from Electrical Resistivity Tomography
Inter-individual variability of tree drought responses within a stand has received little attention. Here we explore whether the spatial variations in soil/subsoil properties assessed through Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) could explain variations…

The role of deep vadose zone water in tree transpiration during droughtperiods in karst settings – Insights from isotopic tracing and leaf waterpotential
Karst environments are unusual because their dry, stony and shallow soils seem to be unfavorable to veg-etation, and yet they are often covered with forests. How can trees survive in these environments?…
