The increasing evaporative demand due to climate change will significantly affect the
balance of carbon assimilation and water losses of plants worldwide. The development of …

The relationship between stomatal traits and environmental drivers across plant
communities has important implications for ecosystem carbon and water fluxes, but it has …

Intensification of land use by humans has led to a homogenization of landscapes and
decreasing resilience of ecosystems globally due to a loss of biodiversity, including the …

Non-structural carbohydrates'(NSCs) allocation pattern is closely related to environmental
factors, plant metabolism, and xylem function. At the same time, we know little about whole …

Progressively warmer and drier climatic conditions impact tree phenology and carbon
cycling with large consequences for forest carbon balance. However, it remains unclear how …

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 …

The record-breaking drought in 2018 caused premature leaf discoloration and shedding
(early browning) in many beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) dominated forests in Central Europe …

Key message Considering their drought tolerance and growth characteristics, rare native
tree species are well-suited admixed species for the development of climate-stable forests in …

Plantations are typically monocultures, which limits their sustainability. Therefore,
understanding acclimatization strategies and resource use efficiencies in plant species and …

This study investigated the stomatal responses of kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus) to varying
water, light, and soil conditions to explain how the species acclimatize to the changes in …
