Tree Water Use Patterns as Influenced by Phenology in a Dry Forest of Southern Ecuador

Tropical dry forests are composed of tree species with different drought coping strategies and encompass heterogeneous site conditions. Actual water use will be controlled by soil moisture availability. In a premontane dry forest of southern Ecuador, tree water use patterns of four tree species of d...
