Big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) is a dominant shrub throughout much of the arid
western United States. Several recognized subspecies differ in physiology, morphology and …

The period of active growth for spring ephemeral plants coincides with the period of high
light, water and nutrient availability between snow melt and canopy closure in the …

Rising global temperature and CO2 levels may sustain late-season net photosynthesis of
evergreen conifers but could also impair the development of cold hardiness. Our study …

The overwintering conditions of northern plants are expected to change substantially due to
global warming. For perennial plants, winter warming may increase the risk of frost damage …

High latitude forests cope with considerable variation in moisture and temperature at
multiple temporal scales. To assess how their photosynthetic physiology responds to short …

Temperate zone woody plants cold acclimate in response to both short daylength (SD) and
low temperature (LT). We were able to show that these two environmental cues induce cold …

We quantified a broad range of Arabidopsis thaliana (Col‐0) leaf phenotypes for initially
warm‐grown (25/20° C day/night) plants that were exposed to cold (5° C) for periods of a …

To understand the mechanisms of heat stress responses in perennial grasses, differential
proteins in leaves and roots of two genotypes of Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis) …

Climate change is raising concerns about how forests will respond to extreme droughts, heat
waves, and their co-occurrence. In this greenhouse study, we tested how carbon and water …

Vegetative traits of plants can respond directly to changes in the environment, such as those
occurring under climate change. That phenotypic plasticity could be adaptive, maladaptive …
