During times of drought, trees can fall into [[moisture stress|water stress]], which may cause a tree to become more susceptible to disease and insect problems, and ultimately may lead to a tree's death. Irrigating trees during dry periods can reduce the risk of water stress and death.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://texasforestservice.tamu.edu/AftertheStorm/Drought/ |title=Texas drought |work=Texas A&M Forest Service |publisher=Texas A&M University System |access-date=10 September 2012 |archive-date=7 September 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150907032456/http://texasforestservice.tamu.edu/AftertheStorm/Drought/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
