Vertical canopy gradients in δ13C correspond with leaf nitrogen content in a mixed-species conifer forest (2006, background): “Lemoine et al. (2002) found larger sensitivity of shade foliage to drought than sun foliage within a F. sylvatica crown.”
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): “However, Lemoine et al. (2002) re-ported signiﬁcant variation in Ψ L within the crown of beech trees and found that stomatal closure and the percentage of loss conductivity in the xylem was more than 50% in sun exposed branches only when Ψ L dropped to almost –2.5 MPa.”
Hydraulic and environmental limitations to leaf water relations in trees with respect to canopy position (2006, background): “Other studies in the wood anatomy of sun versus shade branches performed in multiple species show the same regularity (Protz et al., 2000; Lemoine et al., 2002a; Mayr et al., 2003).”
Is the spatial distribution of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) limited by its potential height growth? (2008, background): “During the summer, high temperatures favour water deficit and stomatal closure to limit transpiration and protect against embolism (Lemoine et al., 2002).”
