Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Romy Rehschuh"
- Romy Rehschuh's research primarily focuses on the impact of drought on tree physiology, particularly examining carbon allocation, water relations, and resilience mechanisms in mature Norway spruce and Scots pine species.
- Significant findings include that post-drought recovery dynamics of carbon allocation are complex, with increased belowground allocation of photoassimilates not fully compensating for fine-root growth, and that trees exhibit a resilient recovery of carbon transport within two weeks after drought relief.
- Rehschuh's work also highlights the critical adaptations of trees during extreme heat and drought conditions, such as leaf shedding and non-stomatal limitations of photosynthesis, which play essential roles in mitigating water loss and maintaining hydraulic conductance.
