Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how different tree species adjust their carbon (C) allocation strategies in response to varying water availability, specifically during a drought year followed by a wet year in a Mediterranean forest.
- - Results show that during the drought, C uptake decreased, C use remained stable, and more carbon was allocated to belowground storage, with respiration being the largest carbon sink.
- - The analysis reveals that trees relied on stored starch to manage sugar levels, with varying responses in C allocation among species, highlighting the physiological impacts of drought conditions on mixed forests amid climate change.
Scarcity of freshwater for agriculture has led to increased utilization of treated wastewater (TWW), establishing it as a significant and reliable source of irrigation water. However, years of research indicate that if not managed adequately, TWW may deleteriously affect soil functioning and plant productivity, and pose a hazard to human and environmental health. This review leverages the experience of researchers, stakeholders, and policymakers from Israel, the United-States, and Europe to present a holistic, multidisciplinary perspective on maximizing the benefits from municipal TWW use for irrigation.
