Drought-influenced mortality of tree species with different predawn leaf water dynamics in a decade-long study of a central US forest

Using decade-long continuous observations of tree mortality and predawn leaf water potential (&psi;<sub>pd</sub>) at the Missouri Ozark AmeriFlux (MOFLUX) site, we studied how the mortality of important tree species varied and how such variations may be predicted. Water stress determ...
