- W1550188508 abstract "Global warming is predicted to shift theseasonal distribution of precipitation in Germany to reducedrainfall in summer and enhanced precipitation in winter. Theestimated rates of future climatic change are expected to outpacemigration or succession rates of many plants. In Germany, theeconomically most important broad-leaved tree species is Europeanbeech (Fagus sylvatica L.). Although beech is a late-successionaltree species with a high dominance on a broad range of soilchemical and hydrological site conditions, F. sylvatica is moredrought-sensitive than other temperate broad-leaved trees. Hence,increasing summer droughts could in future impair the vitality ofbeech at the drought limit of its occurrence. In this study, thedrought response of beech was studied on the two key interfaces forwater flow in the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum (SPAC): fineroots and leaves. Major aims were to investigate (i) long-termadaptive responses of adult beech trees to low soil moisture acrossa precipitation gradient and (ii) the specific contribution ofphenotypic plasticity and genetic variability to the droughtresponse of beech saplings in a common garden experiment.Surprisingly, adult trees responded to a large decrease in annualrainfall with an increase of leaf area and leaf area index (LAI).The explanation for this unexpected drought response of Europeanbeech can partly be found in phenology: leaf production istemporarily uncoupled from summer droughts. Producing a high LAIdespite the desiccated soil in summer supports the survivalstrategies of this late-successional tree species to outmatchcompetitors by casting deep shade. The optimal resourcepartitioning theory predicts enhanced root growth during drought inorder to reduce water limitations in a desiccated soil, which couldnot be supported for European beech. Under water limitation, beechrather decreased its fine root biomass by about a third due toreduced fine root longevity and increased root turnover. Fine rootswere readily shed to reduce maintenance costs, thus maximizingoverall tree productivity. Aboveground and belowground organs ofbeech adapt to summer drought by fundamentally different strategiesin terms of genetic and environmental control: the limitedbetween-population genetic variability determines important leaftraits of European beech. Yet, an increased drought tolerance is inthis species presumably primarily based on the enhanced phenotypicplasticity of the fine root system: expansive fine root growth infavourable soil conditions, reduced fine root longevity andincreased turnover with drought, and the ability to provide for thewater demands even with a strongly reduced fine root mass." @default.
