MeSH headings : Forests; Trees; Water
TL;DR: To understand the importance of analytical tools such as those provided by Berdanier et al. (2016) in this issue of Tree Physiology, one must understand both the grand challenges facing Earth system modelers, as well as the minutia of engaging in ecophysiological research in the field.

author keywords: Pinus taeda; volume increment; throughfall exclusion; fertilization; nitrogen; phosphorus
TL;DR: A regional study was installed to evaluate effects of decreased rainfall and nutrient additions on loblolly pine plantation productivity and physiology and results indicate a positive but variable response of fertilization on stand volume increment at all four sites and a negative effect of throughfall reduction at two sites.

Fertilization intensifies drought stress: Water use and stomatal conductance of Pinus taeda in a midrotation fertilization and throughfall reduction experiment

FOREST ECOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT, 355, 72–82.

author keywords: Fertilization; Drought; Gas exchange; Loblolly pine; Sap flux; Transpiration
TL;DR: The results indicate that despite unusually high rainfall in the study period and a lack of leaf area index (LAI) response, both EC and GS decreased in response to fertilization and throughfall reduction, which led to large increases in the water use efficiency of stem production.
