Abstract Many forests suffer increased drought stress due to climate change, particularly impacting Central Europe. However, our understanding considering and resulting tree mortality remains incomplete. For addressing this issue, fine-scale water balance assessment as well robust spatially integrating measures on large scales are necessary for forest ecosystem monitoring. The latter is important provide reliable data sets verifying remote sensing hydrological modelling products. Various traditional in-situ methods exist assessing the in ecosystems instance measuring content or matric potential. spatial limitations of these have led an importance Cosmic Ray Neutron Sensing (CRNS) last two decades whose signal integrated over a larger area. We equipped monitoring plots with ECH 2 O probes, Tensiomark soil systems, installed CRNS station at one site measure potential different depths distances trees from November 2020 till 2023. results indicate distinct temporal variations influenced by meteorological conditions properties, but also characteristics. year 2022 identified exceptionally dry, causing high sites. comparison between reveals strong correlation, highlighting CRNS' promising tool area wide availability ecosystems. Our study further advocates need species-specific thresholds assess relation order better impact change
