Article Synopsis
- The study explores how two tree species, anisohydric Robinia pseudoacacia and isohydric Quercus acutissima, react to sudden precipitation changes during drought, focusing on gas exchange, growth, and carbohydrate patterns.
- Anisohydric R. pseudoacacia sacrifices leaves under stress, leading to decreased photosynthesis and non-structural carbohydrate (NSC) accumulation, while isohydric Q. acutissima maintains leaf integrity and NSC stability by reducing respiration.
- The findings suggest that R. pseudoacacia's efficient water transport and growth come at the cost of embolism resistance, whereas Q. acutissima's resource-saving approach may enhance
