Droughts in a warming climate have become more common and more extreme, making
understanding forest responses to water stress increasingly pressing. Analysis of water …

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

Tree mortality during global‐change‐type drought is usually attributed to xylem dysfunction,
but as climate change increases the frequency of extreme heat events, it is necessary to …

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

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 frequency and severity of drought are expected to increase due to climate change;
therefore, selection of tree species for afforestation should consider drought resistance of the …

Climate change is expected to exacerbate drought for many plants, making drought
tolerance a key driver of species and ecosystem responses. Plant drought tolerance is …

Plants' resistance to stress factors is a complex trait that is a result of changes at the
molecular, metabolic, and physiological levels. The plant resistance strategy means the …

Identifying the thresholds of drought that, if crossed, suppress vegetation functioning is vital
for accurate quantification of how land ecosystems respond to climate variability and …

Root access to bedrock water storage or groundwater is an important trait allowing plant
survival in seasonally dry environments. However, the degree of coordination between …
