Salvia is one of the largest genera of the family Lamiaceae. It is widely distributed in the
temperate, subtropical, and tropical regions all over the world. Besides its ethnobotanical …

Under tropical and sub-tropical conditions, perennial woody plants most often encounter
drought stress due to erratic rainfall, which has become compounded as result of recent …

In a world of accelerating changes in environmental conditions driving tree growth, tradeoffs
between tree growth rate and longevity could curtail the abundance of large old trees …

General theories of plant defence often fail to account for complex interactions between the
resources required for defence expression. For example, the carbon that is used for carbon …

Quantifying carbon dynamics in forests is critical for understanding their role in long-term
climate regulation,,–. Yet little is known about tree longevity in tropical forests,,,–, a factor that …

A within-species trade-off between growth rates and lifespan has been observed across
different taxa of trees, however, there is some uncertainty whether this trade-off also applies …

As the diversity of plants increases in an ecosystem, so does resource competition for soil
nutrients, a process that mycorrhizal fungi can mediate. The influence of mycorrhizal fungi …

Carbon (C) allocation strategy plays a critical role in plant adaptability, which are also
important to assess the productivity stability under environmental change. Based on optimal …

Studies on the dynamics of non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs) play an important role in
understanding the mechanisms of plant responses to drought stress. The objective of this …

Anthropogenic climate change is a relatively new phenomenon, largely occurring over the
past 150 years, and much of the discussion on climate change impacts to forests has …
