| Abstract: | Aims
Predicting drought consequences on forests and fruit crop plantings requires improved understanding of drought responses of both leaf and fine-root resource acquisitive traits (specific leaf area—SLA, specific root surface area—SRA and specific root length—SRL). We hypothesize their responses are coordinated towards integrated plant resource conservation under severe drought. |
