Leaf surface conductance to water vapor and CO2 across the epidermis (g leaf) strongly
determines the rates of gas exchange. Thus, clarifying the drivers of g leaf has important …

Drought and subsequent rewatering are common in agriculture, where recovery from mild
droughts is easier than from severe ones. The specific drought threshold and factors limiting …

Abstract Key message Seven European beech provenances differing largely in growth
performance were grown at two common garden sites in Germany and Slovakia. The intra …

Photorespiration (PR) greatly reduces net carbon assimilation in trees (by c. 25%), but has
received recent attention particular for its potential role in stress-signaling through the …

Forests globally are experiencing severe droughts, leading to significant reductions in
growth, crown dieback and even tree mortality. The ability of forest ecosystems to acclimate …

Key message The elapsed times to deplete starch concentrations and to reach a null
hydraulic safety margin were related to tree seedling mortality under experimental drought …

Increasing tree species diversity in Mediterranean forests could reduce drought‐induced
hydraulic impairments through improved microclimate and reduced competition for water …

Tidal freshwater forests are usually located at or above the level of mean high water. Some
Louisiana coastal forests are below mean high water, especially bald cypress (Taxodium …

Abstract Knowledge of the physiological mechanisms underlying species vulnerability to
drought is critical for better understanding patterns of tree mortality. Investigating plant …

Worldwide, forests are increasingly exposed to extreme droughts causing tree mortality.
Because of the complex nature of the mechanisms involved, various traits have been linked …
