Surface temperatures are mechanistically linked to vegetation biophysical and physiological
processes. Although remote sensing in the thermal infrared (TIR) domain can offer novel …

Despite progress in trait‐based ecology, there is limited understanding of the plant traits that
structure semi‐arid grasslands. In particular, it remains unclear how traits that enable plants …

Macroecology has prospered in recent years due in part to the wide array of climatic data,
such as those provided by the WorldClim and CliMond data sets, which has become …

In recent years, the demand for herbs and aromatic products has increased worldwide in the
herbal, flavor, and fragrance industry. Studies suggest that rapidly increasing anthropogenic …

Abstract Background and Aims Trait–environment relationships are commonly interpreted as
evidence for local adaptation in plants. However, even when selection analyses support this …

Plant leaves provide the following main functions:(1) light interception and utilization of light
energy for photosynthesis. This includes efficient light absorption under low and moderate …

Urban greening solutions such as green roofs help improve residents' thermal comfort and
building insulation. However, not all plants provide the same level of cooling. This is partially …

Investigating plant morphological traits can provide insights into plant drought tolerance. To
date, many papers have focused on plant hydraulic responses to drought during …

There is various evidence that the presence of condensed water, eg dew, improves plant
water relations. Because particularly plants in drier environments are expected to benefit …

To help predict the effects of global warming on plants, previous studies have investigated
how the distributions and physiological performances of plants relate to environmental …
