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

Drought‐induced tree mortality has major impacts on ecosystem carbon and water cycles,
and is expected to increase in forests across the globe with climate change. A large body of …

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 …

The concept of iso‐vs. anisohydry has been used to describe the stringency of stomatal
regulation of plant water potential (ψ). However, metrics that accurately and consistently …

Ongoing shifts in the species composition of Eastern US forests necessitate the
development of frameworks to explore how species-specific water-use strategies influence …

Plant traits can provide unique insights into plant performance at the community scale.
Functional composition, defined by both functional diversity and community‐weighted trait …

Tree water use is central to plant function and ecosystem fluxes. However, it is still unknown
how organ‐level water‐relations traits are coordinated to determine whole‐tree water‐use …

Water transport from soils to the atmosphere is critical for plant growth and survival.
However, we have a limited understanding about many portions of the whole-tree hydraulic …

Increasing temperature and drought can result in leaf dehydration and defoliation even in
drought‐adapted tree species such as the Mediterranean evergreen Quercus ilex L. The …

Water is a vital resource for plant survival, growth and distribution, and it is of significance to
explore mechanisms of plant water-relations regulation and responses to drought in …
