Plant responses to precipitation in desert ecosystems: integrating functional types, pulses, thresholds, and delays

K Ogle, JF Reynolds - Oecologia, 2004 - Springer

Nighttime transpiration in woody plants from contrasting ecosystems

TE Dawson, SSO Burgess, KP Tu, RS Oliveira… - Tree …, 2007 - academic.oup.com
It is commonly assumed that transpiration does not occur at night because leaf stomata are
closed in the dark. We tested this assumption across a diversity of ecosystems and woody …
