The seasonal movement of soil water through a deep vadose zone of a sandy hill was studied in the central part of The Netherlands. The behaviour of soil water was tracked by monitoring soil water fluctuations and changes in the environmental tracer 0 in vertical profiles at test sites with grassland, heathland and forest. In the temperate climate of the study area a soil moisture deficit develo...

Climatic changes affect the growth dynamics of temperate trees, but these effects might differ between co-occurring ring- and diffuse-porous species as well mesic xeric rear-edge populations. We explore whether recent climate warming has increased sensitivity within-stand synchrony in groups differently. The natural beech–oak ecotone Western Romania at dry margin beech occurrence. Three ring-po...
