Or you can avoid the noun and use a verb instead, such as wither or fade, perhaps.
Note from asker:
vigor - force of healthy growth in any living matter or organism, as a plant. http://goo.gl/cHHF Seems like a good one. Thanks for a hint, Mikhail! The verb is my second option, I'd just like to find the best noun here =)

agree David Knowles : Agree with "vigo(u)r", but I'd prefer the more literal "lose"

Thank you. It's 'deprived OF' not 'FROM.' No, it's not. http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=248366

strengh

"Strengh" больше подходит к данному тексту. В предложении, я бы перевела слово "могучие" как "powerful":

"...and powerful trees loose their strength without these microcells."

diminish in strength

"strength" is used. I would go for 'diminish' as the accompanying verb.
Peer comment(s):

agree Alexandra Taggart : "strength ebbs away"
