Abstract | Previous research identifies links between groundwater depth and canopy condition in dominant riparian and floodplain tree species associated with ephemeral river systems, particularly during drought. Chronic groundwater decline, evident in many agricultural landscapes worldwide, effectively decouples tree roots from deep soil moisture resources, increasing the susceptibility of trees to changes in precipitation. Drought may trigger loss of canopy condition and, where severe or prolonged, have long term consequences for the function and survival of trees and the composition, structure and function of ecosystems they dominate. However, critical groundwater depth thresholds, which may reflect ecological 'tipping points' in such systems, have been difficult to identify. |
