The impact of induced drought on transpiration and growth in a temperate pine plantation forest
Abstract
Abstract The effects of early growing season droughts on water and carbon balances in conifer forests are poorly understood. In this study, the response of canopy transpiration ( E c ) and growth rates to reduced precipitation input during the early growing season was evaluated in a 70‐year old temperate white pine ( Pinus strobus L.) plantation forest, in Southern Ontario, Canada. In order to induce the drought, a 20 × 20 m throughfall …
