...period of exclusion, many trees in the forest were drawing in water from more than 40 feet deep in the soil. Second, it was anticipated that when the trees ran out of water in the soil, they would shed their leaves. In fact, this study shows that the reaction to drought is instead a decrease in the rate at ...
