Droughts have been reported as the most significant negative impact of climate change to tropical forests. Yet, strong rainfall periods are becoming as frequent as droughts in Amazonia, with still unknown influence on forest dynamics. Moreover, drought studies have focused on upland forests with deep water tables, which experience higher water deficits and may be especially sensitive to drought. Here we analyzed how hydrological environments (water table depth, WTD), interacting with species functional traits, mediated tree responses to water-related climate anomalies over the past two decades. Both extreme water conditions, deficit and excess, decreased concurrent tree growth and survivorship, but legacy interactions had the highest impact...
