Descripción
Forest dieback and mortality episodes triggered by droughts are receiving increasing atten-tion due to the projected increases in these extreme climate events. However, the role played by nutrient impairment in dieback is understudied, despite interactions among carbon-water balances and nutrition. Here, we followed a comparative analysis of long-term growth, intrinsic water-use efficiency (iWUE), oxygen isotopes (δ18O) and wood-nutrient composition patterns between living (L) and dead (D) trees of a Nothofagus dombeyi population, showing dieback in Argentina. The onset of the growth decline of D trees occurred ca. 40 years before death. These trees showed higher iWUE, pointing to higher drought stress. Their lower δ18O values, together with the uncoupling between δ18O and leaf-level processes, suggested a deeper source of water uptake for this vigor class. D trees showed a poorer nutritional status than L trees that likely amplified the dieback. This was supported by numerous positive associations of P-and K-concentrations in wood and related ratios with iWUE, δ18O and tree growth. Therefore, drought-related nutrient deterioration can significantly contribute to dieback and be an early warning signal of impending tree death.
