Increasing heatwaves are threatening forest ecosystems globally. Leaf thermal regulation
and tolerance are important for plant survival during heatwaves, though the interaction …

Tree-ring analysis provides an effective way to detect complex responses of trees to climate
warming and has been extensively used in ecological studies; however, there is often a lack …

Flowers are critical for successful reproduction and have been a major axis of diversification
among angiosperms. As the frequency and severity of droughts are increasing globally …

Rising temperature associated with climate change may have substantial impacts on forest
tree functions. We conducted a 7‐year warming experiment in subtropical China by …

The physiological mechanisms and phytoremediation effects of three kinds of native quinoa
in a desert mining area were studied. We used two different types of local soils (native soil …

Evergreen and deciduous species coexist in tropical dry forests and savannas, but differ in
physiological mechanisms and life-history strategies. Hydraulic conductivity and mechanical …

Drought-related tree mortality profoundly impacts the ecosystem functions and carbon
budgets, in which one of the principal mechanisms involved is the catastrophic failure of the …

干旱导致树木死亡对生态系统功能和碳平衡有重大影响. 植物水分运输系统失调是引发树木死亡
的主要机制. 然而, 树木对干旱胁迫响应的多维性和复杂性, 使人们对植物水分运输系统在极端 …

The widening of xylem vessels from tip to base of trees is an adaptation to minimize the
hydraulic resistance of a long pathway. Given that parallel veins of monocot leaves do not …

As an interesting and important trait of some drought-tolerant species, heteromorphic leaves
are distributed differentially along plant vertical heights. However, the underpinning …
