- Association Drought-induced resprouts had higher water potentials than adults, particularly in dry periods.
- Association Drought-induced resprouts had higher photosynthetic rates than adults, particularly in dry periods.
- Association Drought-induced resprouts had lower water potentials than fire-induced resprouts.
- Intervention effect Non-irrigated trees had greater canker initiation than irrigated trees.
- Intervention effect Non-irrigated trees had greater canker elongation rates than irrigated trees.
- Observation Irrigated coppice-induced resprouts had the least canker development.
- Mechanism Xylem water stress and canker disease agents reinforce one another.
- Mechanism Repeated drought, fire and disease reduce walnut resilience.
