Physiology of beech and sessile oak in a natural stand
Comparisons of tree species in natural mixed stands and their responses to drought are not well documented. Raftoyannis and Radoglou (pp. 723-730) find that during an exceptionally dry summer, sessile oak is more tolerant to drought than beech due, in part, to its maintenance of photosynthesis at low water potential.
