Evapotranspiration (ET)—the distribution and partitioning of which is strongly mediated by
vegetation—is central to the water, energy and carbon cycles. In this Review, we examine …

Water potential directly controls the function of leaves, roots and microbes, and gradients in
water potential drive water flows throughout the soil–plant–atmosphere continuum …

Heatwaves exert disproportionately strong and sometimes irreversible impacts on forest
ecosystems. These impacts remain poorly understood at the tree and species level and …

Terrestrial evaporation (E) is a key climatic variable that is controlled by a plethora of
environmental factors. The constraints that modulate the evaporation from plant leaves (or …

To quantify uncertainty, conformal prediction methods are gaining continuously more
interest and have already been successfully applied to various domains. However, they are …

Low soil moisture and high vapour pressure deficit (VPD) cause plant water stress and lead
to a variety of drought responses, including a reduction in transpiration and photosynthesis …

Tree water use is central to plant function and ecosystem fluxes. However, it is still unknown
how organ‐level water‐relations traits are coordinated to determine whole‐tree water‐use …

Classifying the diverse ways that plants respond to hydrologic stress into generalizable
'water‐use strategies' has long been an eco‐physiological research goal. While many …

Forests account for nearly 90% of the world's terrestrial biomass in the form of carbon and
they support 80% of the global biodiversity. To understand the underlying forest dynamics …

Stomatal conductance schemes that optimize with respect to photosynthetic and hydraulic
functions have been proposed to address biases in land‐surface model (LSM) simulations …
