Tree species differ in their physiological responses to drought, but the underlying causes are often unclear. Here we explored of radial growth centennial drought events and sap flow (Fs) seasonal four mixed forests on either moist or drier sites northwestern Switzerland. While diffuse-porous (Fagus sylvatica, Prunus avium, Tilia platyphyllos) showed marked reductions 1976 2003, two known marke...
