Fog inundation along California’s Coast Range creates microclimates that support coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens, D. Don) forests during the summer drought period. With changes in land use and climate, the coast redwood ecosystem is susceptible to increased drought stress. Thus, understanding the role of fog in relieving drought stress is important to properly manage the remaining coast redwood forests. Fog presence and ecosystem responses (e.g., climate, soil moisture, sap flow) were monitored at the Caspar Creek Experimental Watersheds in northwestern California over the 2020 fog season ...
