Intermediate, rather than Isohydric or Anisohydric, Species were More Resilient to an Extreme Heatwave in a Common Garden in Sydney
Urban forests are increasingly exposed to climate extremes, yet selecting resilient urban species remains difficult as it is unclear why some species fail and others succeed. We monitored growth and survival of 48 urban tree and shrub species, respectively, for about five years after planting, plus we quantified species' crown dieback after a natural extreme heatwave (three days with temperatures…
