The dimensions of deep-layer soil desiccation and its impact on xylem hydraulic conductivity in dryland tree plantations

<p>In water-limited areas, planted trees can extract substantial amounts of soil water from deep layers (<span class="inline-formula">&gt;</span> 200 cm) to meet their high water demand, resulting in deep soil desiccation, which influences not only regional water cycl...
