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 …

Severe droughts have caused widespread tree mortality across many forest biomes with
profound effects on the function of ecosystems and carbon balance. Climate change is …

Background Suboptimal water and nutrient availability are primary constraints in global
agriculture. Root anatomy plays key roles in soil resource acquisition. In this article we …

Stomata play a significant role in the Earth's water and carbon cycles, by regulating gaseous
exchanges between the plant and the atmosphere. Under drought conditions, stomatal …

Understanding the vulnerability of trees to drought-induced mortality is key to predicting the
fate of forests in a future climate with more frequent and intense droughts, although the …

Root exudates comprise a large variety of compounds released by plants into the
rhizosphere, including low-molecular-weight primary metabolites (particularly saccharides …

Plant responses to drought and heat stress have been extensively studied, whereas post-
stress recovery, which is fundamental to understanding stress resilience, has received much …

The Science of Grapevines, Third Edition reflects the latest insights into cultivar
relationships, vascular transport, hormone action, and stress responses of grapevines …

Efficient water transport from soil to leaves sustains stomatal opening and steady‐state
photosynthesis. The aboveground portion of this pathway is well‐described, yet the roots …

Soil drying is a limiting factor for crop production worldwide. Yet, it is not clear how soil
drying impacts water uptake across different soils, species, and root phenotypes. Here we …
