T0	91.05 ± 6.67	9.88 ± 0.70	9.28 ± 0.31	91.44 ± 5.21
T1	115.22 ± 18.86	12.59 ± 1.40	7.43 ± 0.22	92.94 ± 8.14
T2	91.38 ± 8.04	10.16 ± 0.08	7.92 ± 0.44	80.49 ± 4.69
T3	86.56 ± 4.42	13.14 ± 1.40	8.55 ± 0.10	114.40 ± 23.74

Note: The means ± SE (n = 3) in the table indicate significant differences in M. alba growth parameters estimated during different water stress phases at p ≤ 0.05, according to one-way ANOVA and Tukey-test. Different lowercase letters in the same column indicate significant differences in the measured factor among the four levels. Plant H.: plant height. L_leaf: leaf length. W_leaf: leaf width. A_leaf: leaf area. GR₅₀ × DT_log is the total growth of the logarithmic phase. ns is no significant differences. T0 is the control group, T1 is the mild drought, T2 is the moderate drought, T3 is the severe drought.
