Abstract
In summer 2017, many weeks with humid weather conditions, but also a pronounced heat period were registered. During this period, considerable physiological responses were observed and respective recovery after subsequent days of heavy precipitation. Phleum pratense showed reductions in stomatal conductance (â148.6â¯Â±â¯118.8â¯mmolmâ2â¯sâ1), relative water content (â9.3â¯Â±â¯10.1%) and midday leaf water potential (â0.3â¯Â±â¯0.5â¯MPa) on the test plot during heat days. Upon precipitation, differences in water relations between plots ceased within few days. Results indicate that integrated irrigation systems are a necessary component of living wall systems.
