Droughts can have strong environmental and socio-economic impacts in the Mediterranean
region, in particular for countries relying on rain-fed agricultural production, but also in areas …

Forest ecosystems in the Mediterranean Basin are mostly situated in the north of the Basin
(mesic). In the most southern and dry areas, the forest can only exist where topography …

Patterns, mechanisms, projections, and consequences of tree mortality and associated
broad‐scale forest die‐off due to drought accompanied by warmer temperatures—“hotter …

Climate-induced forest mortality is being widely observed across the globe. Predicting forest
mortality remains challenging because the physiological mechanisms causing mortality are …

Adaptation to drought involves complex interactions of traits that vary within and among
species. To date, few data are available to quantify within‐species variation in functional …

Global change poses new challenges for plant species, including novel and complex
combinations of environmental conditions to which plants should adjust and adapt …

Many tropical montane cloud forest (TMCF) trees are capable of foliar water uptake (FWU)
during leaf‐wetting events. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that maintenance of leaf …

Understanding whether tree growth is limited by carbon gain (source limitation) or by the
direct effect of environmental factors such as water deficit or temperature (sink limitation) is …

Forests respond to increasing intensities and frequencies of drought by reducing growth and
with higher tree mortality rates. Little is known, however, about the long‐term consequences …

A basic understanding of nutrition effects on the mechanisms involved in tree response to
drought is essential under a future drier climate. A large‐scale throughfall exclusion …
