title: Water Relation Characteristics of Prunus laurocerasus L. under Progressive Soil Drought Stress of Crimea’s Southern Coast
abstract: The study examines the ecophysiological response of Prunus laurocerasus L. to the effects of progressive soil drought and determines optimum zones and threshold values of soil moisture, temperature, and light, limiting the photosynthesis and transpiration during its summer active growth period in the southern coast of Crimea. The paper characterizes the development of water stress and photosynthesis inhibition as well as the subsequent recovery after watering. It emphasizes the chlorophyll loss
