For example, drought stress can occur whenever soil water is not adequate or whenever the evaporative demand of the air is high. Drought is one of the most formidable stresses. It alters a tree's ability to take up nutrients from soil and changes the way the tree produces roots, shoots, leaves and fruit. To strive for consistently high commercial yields, grove managers must incorporate strategies to minimize the negative effects of drought. The objectives of this document are to: a)Explain how citrus trees respond to changes in availability of water and nutrients; b)Discuss plant-stress situations and their effects on citrus growth and productivity; and c)Discuss the balance between roots and shoots. The target audience for this document dealing with citrus responses to drought conditions includes: Certified Crop Advisers, citrus producers, agrochemical and equipment industry representatives, and other parties interested in citrus management practices.

Not only is this very harmful to trees, it contributes to extreme conditions for forest and range fires.

In recent years drought periods have ventured into spring and fall. Drought has damaged many trees and landscapes. One means of drought-proofing your landscape is selection of drought resistant plants. No landscape can be made completely free of drought problems even under intensive irrigation. With more water shortages and drought periods ahead, planting trees and other plants that are drought resistant can be beneficial.

As ponds lose water, the fish become more crowded and confined in a smaller volume of water and are stressed.
