The quoted passage directly supports the 25% transpiration reduction in drought-exposed trees and up-to-54% control decline, but omits the 2023 and long-term experimental-drought qualifiers. DIRECT_TEXT

During El Niño, PTs reduced transpiration by 25%, while CTs declined by up to 54% relative to pre-drought levels. Post-drought, PTs fully recovered transpiration, whereas CTs recovered only to 77.5%, showing legacy effects and pronounced leaf area loss.
