Modelling the impacts of streamflow reduction on the radial growth of bald cypress (Taxodium mucronatum Ten.) in northwestern Mexico

Key Points

• Radial growth of bald cypress is significantly affected by streamflow reduction, highlighting ecosystem risk.
• Streamflow reduction directly correlates with decreased radial growth rates in bald cypress trees.
• Modeling approach utilizes environmental data to assess the impacts of climate on bald cypress growth.
• Findings imply the need for conservation strategies to protect bald cypress ecosystems from climate change.
