- Intervention effect A recovery year between two droughts gave trees less drought resilience than consecutive drought treatments.
- Intervention effect Recovery treatment reduced tree growth rates.
- Intervention effect No hydraulic acclimation to severe drought was detected over time.
- Intervention effect The authors infer severe repeated drought raises hydraulic vulnerability.
