Landscape
Moisture stress adversely affects virtually every physiological process in the plant. The first response is closure of leaf stomata, which reduces transpiration water loss and acts as a defense mechanism. However, with the stomata dosed, carbon dioxide is not absorbed and photosynthesis is curtailed, limiting growth and increasing susceptibility to insect and disease pests.
Water stress also inhibits the production of essential materials. In addition to less carbohydrate (food) production, proteins, enzymes, growth regulators mineral nutrients and other essential materials for He are not produoed or translocated, further contributing to reduced growth and development
Restricted growth and vitality are manifested by stunted chlorotic leaves, premature defoliation, crown thinning and poor shoot growth. Drought-stressed trees often attract insect pests and disease organisms, including borers, bark beetles, and canker dnd root disease fungi, which accelerate decline and may ultimately cause death of the plant
