Functional memory of drought affects leaf chemical defenses and microbial interactions in aspen
2025-11-18
Abstract excerpt
Drought is an increasingly important driver of tree mortality, but its long-term impacts on trait expression remain poorly understood. Leaves are a key interface at which trees respond to abiotic stress, and foliar traits such as chemical defenses and microbial communities may play an important role in determining post-drought resilience. Here, we tested whether prior-year drought leaves a persistent imprint on le...
