Title: Drought, Heat Stress & Trees
Description: Because water loss in trees is primarily a physical process controlled by temperature, heat loading on trees must be quantified and appreciated. Trees, hot temperatures, and water deficits are intimately bound together in a stress syndrome. Any discussion of water in trees must deal with site heat loads to fully understand tree water stress and provide adequate water resources to alleviate stress.
