Stomatal responses to humidity, soil moisture and other factors that influence plant water
status are critical drivers of photosynthesis, productivity, water yield, ecohydrology and …

In this review, we address the relationship between stomatal behaviour, water potential
regulation and hydraulic transport in plants, focusing on the implications for the …

Both low soil water content (SWC) and high atmospheric dryness (vapor pressure deficit,
VPD) can negatively affect terrestrial gross primary production (GPP). The sensitivity of GPP …

Abiotic stresses, such as temperature extremes, drought, salinity, and heavy metals are
major factors limiting crop productivity and sustainability worldwide. Abiotic stresses disturb …

Drought is a predominant cause of low yields worldwide. There is an urgent need for more
water efficient cropping systems facing large water consumption of irrigated agriculture and …

Many of the scientific and societal challenges in understanding and preparing for global
environmental change rest upon our ability to understand and predict the water cycle …

Melatonin pre-treatment significantly increases the tolerance of both drought-tolerant Malus
prunifolia and drought-sensitive M. hupehensis plants. Its beneficial effects include better …

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is often considered as a drought sensitive crop and its
sustainable production is threatened due to frequent drought episodes. There has been …

Plant function requires effective mechanisms to regulate water transport at a variety of
scales. Here, we develop a new theoretical framework describing plant responses to drying …

Aquifers and groundwater-dependent ecosystems (GDEs) are facing increasing pressure
from water consumption, irrigation and climate change. These pressures modify …
