Water is crucial for trees to thrive. Where do trees get their water from? What do they do with it? How do they cope with droughts? Different tree species have developed different strategies to source and manage water. The specifics of these strategies affect precipitation partitioning and the local water balance. We use modelling to study these interactions between trees and the water cycle. We also co-develop the models SERGHEI and SurEau-Ecos.
