Global climate change and tree nutrition : influence of water availability

Abstract

According to climate models, the total amount of rainfall in many regions of Europe will decrease during the summer, but there will be a higher risk of heavy rainfall events at the same time. This will cause flooding both in the spring and winter and also during the vegetation period, particularly at sites with clay-rich soils with restricted permeability. Both flooding and drought affect the above- and below-ground physiology of trees and soil properties. This study explored differential effects of drought and waterlogging in forest ecosystems on nutrient availability and on the efficiency of roots to uptake the nutrients from the soil. It also reviewed the effects of biotic interaction with water stress resulting from drought or waterlogging. The focus was on tree mineral nutrient uptake and metabolism as well as on the interaction between carbon allocation and the mineral nutrient balance as affected by reduced and excess water availability and the acquisition of nutrients under stress-induced changes of the carbon balance. The study showed that both reduced and excess water availability affect the mineral nutrition of trees in several ways. 141 refs., 3 figs.
