Finally, my last paper from my PhD thesis is out @plantbiology. I'm looking on how species diversity impacts hydraulic dysfunctions during Mediterranean summer drough 🥵 A big thank to @GrossiordCha, @avilagrosa, @LlunaMorcillo, and @FernandoVallada onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Mixing oak and pine trees in Mediterranean forests increases aboveground hydraulic dysfunctions

Mixing oak and pine trees enhances hydraulic impairments of all species, although diversity can mitigate drought stress during extended drought periods.
