Effects of high temperature and drought stress on growth, nutrient concentration, and nutrient use efficiency of tomato seedlings

Field-Measured Hydraulic Traits and Remotely Sensed NDVI of Four Subtropical Tree Species Showed Transient Declines during the Drought–Heatwave Event

“…However, the real-time impact of extreme combined heatwave-drought climatic events on trees and the associated instantaneous physiological response mechanisms are not fully understood-information that is crucial for guiding reasonable protective measures during hot drought stress. Otherwise, studies that focus on the instantaneous effects of drought and heatwave events on hydraulic and photosynthetic processes mostly depend on controlled laboratory simulation experiments conducted on seedlings under reduced water and increased temperature conditions [47,48]. These studies show that, on a small scale, temperature and drought factors have a huge destructive effect on the hydraulic balance of tree seedlings, and this effect lasts for a long time, meaning the seedlings cannot recover quickly in a short period of time and eventually die.…”
