Tropical forests face increasing climate risk,, yet our ability to predict their response to
climate change is limited by poor understanding of their resistance to water stress. Although …

The rise in temperatures with climate warming exposes trees and forests on Earth to a triple
threat through increased soil drought, enhanced atmospheric drought, and growing heat …

Understanding how evolutionary history and the coordination between trait trade‐off axes
shape the drought tolerance of trees is crucial to predict forest dynamics under climate …

Heatwaves and soil droughts are increasing in frequency and intensity, leading many tree
species to exceed their thermal thresholds, and driving wide‐scale forest mortality …

Maintaining water transport in the xylem is critical for vascular plants to grow and survive.
The drought-induced accumulation of embolism, when gas enters xylem conduits, causes …

Increasing temperature and drought can result in leaf dehydration and defoliation even in
drought‐adapted tree species such as the Mediterranean evergreen Quercus ilex L. The …

Atmospheric conditions are expected to become warmer and drier in the future, but little is
known about how evaporative demand influences forest structure and function …

A widespread increase in tree mortality has been observed around the globe, and this trend
is likely to continue because of ongoing climate-induced increases in drought frequency and …

Increasing tree diversity is considered a key management option to adapt forests to climate
change. However, the effect of species diversity on a forest's ability to cope with extreme …

Vulnerability curves (VCs) describe the loss of hydraulic conductance against increasing
xylem tension, providing valuable insights about the response of plant water transport to …
