Mechanisms of woody-plant mortality under rising drought, CO2 and vapour pressure deficit
Drought-associated woody-plant mortality has been increasing in most regions with multi-
decadal records and is projected to increase in the future, impacting terrestrial climate …

Coordination of stem and leaf traits define different strategies to regulate water loss and tolerance ranges to aridity
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 …

Leaf shedding and non-stomatal limitations of photosynthesis mitigate hydraulic conductance losses in scots pine saplings during severe drought stress
D Nadal-Sala, R Grote, B Birami, T Knüver… - Frontiers in Plant …, 2021 - frontiersin.org
During drought, trees reduce water loss and hydraulic failure by closing their stomata, which
also limits photosynthesis. Under severe drought stress, other acclimation mechanisms are …
