Publication: Urban trees and irrigation reduction

This study used RHESSys to quantify how urban tree water and carbon fluxes are affected by irrigation reductions, and how that relationship changes with tree species and temperature – results have implications for water resources management before and during drought, and for urban tree climate adaptation to future drought.
