PREMISE OF THE STUDY: The flip‐leaved podocarp Retrophyllum has a disjunct extant
distribution in South American and Australasian tropical rainforests and a Gondwanic fossil …

Morpho-physiological strategies to deal with water deficit vary among citrus species and the
chemical signaling through ABA and anatomical, hydraulic, and physiological traits were …

Aim The aim was to examine whether recent mortality can be explained by hydraulic failure
linked to water deficit. Location Western Europe. Time period 1986–2014. Major taxa …

Although rainforests of eastern Australia grow in regions of high precipitation, there is a shift
from a summer dry season in the temperate south to a winter dry season in the tropical north …

Woody hemiepiphytic species (Hs) are important components of tropical rain forests, and
they have been hypothesized to differ from non‐hemiepiphytic tree species (NHs) in …

What features of angiosperms have enabled them to dominate the biomass of much
temperate and tropical vegetation despite the high productivity of many adult gymnosperms …

Abstract Background and Aims The structural properties of leaf venation and xylem anatomy
strongly influence leaf hydraulics, including the ability of leaves to maintain hydraulic …

Viewed in terms of species diversity, the Southern Hemisphere conifer family
Podocarpaceae is equivalent to its northern sister the Pinaceae. However, despite their …

Xylem hydraulic properties and vulnerability to cavitation were studied in six Acer species
which occur, in the French Alps, along a soil moisture gradient from the moist valleys to the …

Perennial plant species from water-limiting environments (including climates of extreme
drought, heat and freezing temperatures) have evolved traits that allow them to tolerate …
