Recent, large‐scale outbreaks of bark beetle infestations have affected millions of hectares
of forest in western North America, covering an area similar in size to that impacted by fire …

Angiosperm and coniferous tree species utilize a continuum of hydraulic strategies.
Hydraulic safety margins (defined as differences between naturally occurring xylem …

The concept of iso‐vs. anisohydry has been used to describe the stringency of stomatal
regulation of plant water potential (ψ). However, metrics that accurately and consistently …

Climate warming is projected to affect forest water yields but the effects are expected to vary.
We investigated how forest type and age affect water yield resilience to climate warming. To …

In the semiarid Loess Plateau region of China, ecosystems are frequently affected by water
shortages. Late spring and early summer are periods when forest communities tend to suffer …

The functional role of internal water storage is increasingly well understood in tropical trees
and conifers, while temperate broad-leaved trees have only rarely been studied. We …

Species' differences in the stringency of stomatal control of plant water potential represent a
continuum of isohydric to anisohydric behaviours. However, little is known about how quasi …

Terrestrial evapotranspiration (ET) is an important flux that links global cycles of carbon,
water and energy and is largely driven by transpiration (T) through leaf stomata in vegetated …

Although drought in temperate deciduous forests decreases transpiration rates of many
species, stand-level transpiration and total evapotranspiration is often reported to exhibit …

Climate change will affect tree species growth and distribution; however, under the same
climatic conditions species may differ in their response according to site conditions. We …
