To identify these traits, we compared coexisting declining (D, heavily defoliated) and non-declining (ND, lightly defoliated) trees. We studied a recent die-off event affecting maritime pine (Pinus pinaster) in north-eastern Spain that started after the severe 2017 drought. We compared the depth of soil water uptake, estimated using δ<sup>18</sup>O and δ<sup>2</sup>H in soil and xylem water samples, as well as field measurements. We also measured anatomical and physiological wood and leaf variables, paying particular attention to pit anatomy and minimum leaf conductance (g<sub>min</sub>). The D trees were smaller in terms of diameter and height, and exhibited lower growth rates. They also formed tracheids with smaller lumen diameters and thinner cell walls than the ND trees. The measured soil depth was greater for ND than for D trees. Isotope data also indicated that ND trees used water from deeper soil layers than D trees during the late summer period of peak drought severity. No differences in the sapwood concentrations of non-structural carbohydrates were found between the two tree types. The D trees had lower midday water potentials than ND trees, and the pressure inducing 50% loss of hydraulic conductance (P<sub>50</sub>) and g<sub>min</sub> were higher in D trees. The D trees also exhibited lower torus overlap, margo flexibility and valve effect than ND trees. However, these differences in pit anatomy were observed in the 2010s when ND trees exhibited higher δ<sup>13</sup>C-derived intrinsic water-use efficiency.

Rhizosheath development was assessed in relation to rhizosphere macroporosity and rhizodeposition after ¹⁴C labeling. Our results confirmed that both root-induced changes and growth preferences shape rhizosphere structure, with their relative significance depending on the inherent macropore availability. In intact soils, growth preferences were the dominant factor, while in sieved soils the root-induced changes became equally important. Rhizosheath formation was associated with roots compacting their surrounding and releasing carbon. However, no correlation was found between rhizosheath formation and the actual rhizosphere, that is, the volume of soil adjacent to the roots. The study offers new process-level understanding of rhizosphere porosity gradients, while emphasizing caution in interpreting root growth data from sieved soil studies.

Selecting appropriate soybean varieties is effective for minimising the yield loss caused by shading and achieving stable soybean production. Field experiments were conducted during 2021-2022 to evaluate the effects of sole soybean (SS), MSI and MSR planting patterns on the growth and yield of four soybean cultivars (GQ8, GX7, ND25 and NN996). Soybeans in the MSI and MSR systems exhibited compensatory growth after maize harvest, driven by recovery of the light environment. Compared to SS, MSR sustained the yield of later-maturing and highly branching cultivars (ND25 and GQ8), whereas yields of all varieties in the MSI system decreased by 24.2%-37.1%. Although the MSR system reduced whole-canopy photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) transmittance and biomass accumulation during the vegetative stage, maize harvest at the flowering stage significantly improved light conditions. The PAR transmittance of MSR in the middle and lower soybean canopies increased to > 70%, enhancing photosynthetic rates by 5.1%-19.0% and 3.9%-55.6%, respectively, compared to SS. Compared to MSI, MSR promoted soybean branching and branch leaf formation, increasing leaf number by 17.4%-63.1%, resulting in a comparable leaf area index to SS during the grain filling stage. MSR increased biomass in medium- and late-maturing cultivars by 5.6%-21.3%, but reduced that of the early-maturing NN996 by 8.8%-14.7%. Therefore, medium- and late-maturing soybean cultivars with strong branching capacities are suitable for relay intercropping systems. Their extended growth duration and abundant branching help optimise canopy structure, enhance light interception efficiency and duration, and compensate for early biomass loss, contributing to yield stability or improvement.

Finally, we found that increasing aridity was associated with rhizospheres that were more compositionally similar, yet remained highly diverse in functional potential.
