3.5 Recovery responses to past drought and rewetting
After rewetting for one growing season, both the recovery photosynthesis
measured on 10 June 2019 and recovery height growth measured on 8
October 2019 significantly responded to species only (Table 1), showing
that both photosynthesis (Fig. 5a vs. 5b) and height growth (Fig. 5c vs.
5d) were greater in oak than in beech. Otherwise, previous season
drought duration and N-fertilization treatment did not affect recovery
responses of the two species (Fig. 5).
