Short summary
In 2022, France faced its driest year on record, severely affecting the forests of the Strengbach catchment. We observed unusual chemical changes in the soil, linked to drought stress. These included nutrient loss, soil acidification, and stress of soil organisms. Our findings show how drought harms soil health, especially in forests already lacking nutrients, and help predict how ecosystems may respond to future climate extremes.
