| In the study, trees exposed to long-term experimental drought had approximately 26.5% smaller crown area per unit stem diameter than untreated controls. | QUANTITATIVE | Supported | 0.8808 | 1 of 4 | 86 |
| After the 2023 El Niño drought, trees exposed to long-term experimental drought recovered transpiration to pre-drought levels after 143 days, while untreated control trees reached 77.5% of pre-drought levels during the observation period. | QUANTITATIVE | Supported | 0.8808 | 1 of 4 | 92 |
| In the study’s 2023 El Niño drought comparison, trees exposed to long-term experimental drought reduced transpiration by 25%, while untreated control trees declined by up to 54% relative to pre-drought levels. | QUANTITATIVE | Supported | 0.8808 | 1 of 4 | 84 |
