Phenotypic plasticity is considered the major means by which plants cope with
environmental heterogeneity. Although ubiquitous in nature, actual phenotypic plasticity is …

The integration of functional traits into vulnerability assessments is a promising approach to
quantitatively capture differences in species sensitivity and adaptive capacity to climate …

Recent studies have identified strong relationships between delayed recovery of tree growth
after drought and tree mortality caused by subsequent droughts. These observations raise …

Abstract Background In the Mediterranean climate, plants have evolved under conditions of
low soil-water and nutrient availabilities and have acquired a series of adaptive traits that, in …

Despite the disproportionate influence that propagule production, dispersal, seed‐to‐
seedling recruitment and vegetative reproduction can have on plant population and …

1. Seedling survival is one of the most critical stages in a plant's life history, and is often
reduced by drought and soil desiccation. It has been hypothesized that root systems …

We review the literature dealing with mediterranean climate, vegetation, phenology and
ecophysiology relevant to the understanding of tree-ring formation in mediterranean regions …

Shoots and roots are autotrophic and heterotrophic organs of plants with different
physiological functions. Do they have different metabolomes? Do their metabolisms respond …

Improving root growth is essential for enhancing the capacity of crops to acquire soil
resources but redundant root growth can also limit productivity, especially in rain-fed farming …
