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

Plant functional traits are powerful ecological tools, but the relationships between plant traits
and climate (or environmental variables more broadly) are often remarkably weak. This …

Widespread tree mortality associated with drought has been observed on all forested
continents and global change is expected to exacerbate vegetation vulnerability. Forest …

Heatwaves exert disproportionately strong and sometimes irreversible impacts on forest
ecosystems. These impacts remain poorly understood at the tree and species level and …

Patterns, mechanisms, projections, and consequences of tree mortality and associated
broad‐scale forest die‐off due to drought accompanied by warmer temperatures—“hotter …

Stomata play a significant role in the Earth's water and carbon cycles, by regulating gaseous
exchanges between the plant and the atmosphere. Under drought conditions, stomatal …

The impacts of climate extremes on terrestrial ecosystems are poorly understood but
important for predicting carbon cycle feedbacks to climate change. Coupled climate–carbon …

measurement techniques of minimum conductance 694 III. Cuticular conductance 695 IV …

Forecasted increase drought frequency and severity may drive worldwide declines in forest
productivity. Species‐level responses to a drier world are likely to be influenced by their …

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