Leaf Size and Leaf Area Index in Fagus sylvatica Forests: Competing Effects of Precipitation, Temperature, and Nitrogen Availability (2008, background): “…a sub-oceanic distribution and exhibits a number of physiological and morphological traits that characterize it as comparatively drought-sensitive (Backes and Leuschner 2000; Granier and others 2007) even though the morphological and physiological drought response of beech may differ among…”
Fine root biomass and dynamics in beech forests across a precipitation gradient – is optimal resource partitioning theory applicable to water‐limited mature trees? (2013, background): “…500 to >2000 mm yr 1, it reaches its highest vigour in suboceanic to oceanic climates and has been found to respond sensitively to drought (Magnani & Borhetti 1995; Backes & Leuschner 2000; Leuschner et al. 2001a; Leuzinger et al. 2005; Granier et al. 2007; K€ocher et al. 2009; R€uhr et al. 2009).”
Anatomical basis of the change in leaf mass per area and nitrogen investment with relative irradiance within the canopy of eight temperate tree species (2004, background): “Under the same conditions of high soil moisture and low atmospheric vapour pressure deficit, maximum net photosynthesis varied in the range: 10–12 μmol CO2 m –2 s and 14–16 μmol CO2 m –2 s for coexisting beech and sessile oak, respectively (Aranda et al., 2000; Backes and Leuschner, 2000).”
Leaf water status and stem xylem flux in relation to soil drought in five temperate broad-leaved tree species with contrasting water use strategies (2011, background): “Beech can not avoid daily ﬂuctuations in Ψ L and often large and severe drops in Ψ pd and Ψ noon during extended drought (Backes and Leuschner, 2000).”
Variation in fine root biomass of three European tree species: Beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), Norway spruce (Picea abies L. Karst.), and Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) (2007, background): “According to Leuschner et al. (2004) beech can grow in regions with both high and low rainfall (500 to 2000 mm year71), even if it is a drought-sensitive species (Backes & Leuschner, 2000).”
Biological Flora of the British Isles: Fagus sylvatica (2012, background): “Fagus sylvatica is fairly conservative in its use of water and has been measured as having sun-leaf conductance 30% lower than in Quercus petraea (Backes & Leuschner 2000) and 40% lower than in Fraxinus excelsior (Köcher et al. 2009).”
