Functional xylem characteristics associated with drought‐induced embolism in angiosperms
Hydraulic failure resulting from drought‐induced embolism in the xylem of plants is a key
determinant of reduced productivity and mortality. Methods to assess this vulnerability are …

Why is tree drought mortality so hard to predict?
Widespread tree mortality following droughts has emerged as an environmentally and
economically devastating 'ecological surprise'. It is well established that tree physiology is …

Adjustments and coordination of hydraulic, leaf and stem traits along a water availability gradient
Trait variability in space and time allows plants to adjust to changing environmental
conditions. However, we know little about how this variability is distributed and coordinated …

Drought response strategies and hydraulic traits contribute to mechanistic understanding of plant dry-down to hydraulic failure
Drought-induced tree mortality alters forest structure and function, yet our ability to predict
when and how different species die during drought remains limited. Here, we explore how …

Linking drought‐induced xylem embolism resistance to wood anatomical traits in Neotropical trees
Drought‐induced xylem embolism is considered to be one of the main factors driving
mortality in woody plants worldwide. Although several structure–functional mechanisms …

Xylem embolism in leaves does not occur with open stomata: evidence from direct observations using the optical visualization technique
Drought represents a major abiotic constraint to plant growth and survival. On the one hand,
plants keep stomata open for efficient carbon assimilation while, on the other hand, they …

Optimization can provide the fundamental link between leaf photosynthesis, gas exchange and water relations
Tight coordination in the photosynthetic, gas exchange and water supply capacities of
leaves is a globally conserved trend across land plants. Strong selective constraints on leaf …

A dynamic yet vulnerable pipeline: Integration and coordination of hydraulic traits across whole plants
The vast majority of measurements in the field of plant hydraulics have been on small‐
diameter branches from woody species. These measurements have provided considerable …
