Models of plant water fluxes have evolved from studies focussed on understanding the
detailed structure and functioning of specific components of the soil–plant–atmosphere …

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 …

The frequency and severity of drought are expected to increase due to climate change;
therefore, selection of tree species for afforestation should consider drought resistance of the …

Dryland ecosystems may be especially vulnerable to expected 21st century increases in
temperature and aridity because they are tightly controlled by moisture availability. However …

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 …

Drought-induced tree mortality alters forest structure and function, yet our ability to predict
when and how different species die during drought remains limited. Here, we explore how …

Drought modeling is essential in water resources planning and management in mitigating its
effects, especially in arid regions. Climate change highly influences the frequency and …

Trees remain sufficiently hydrated during drought by closing stomata and reducing canopy
conductance (G c) in response to variations in atmospheric water demand and soil water …

The cycling of carbon (C) between the Earth surface and the atmosphere is controlled by
biological and abiotic processes that regulate C storage in biogeochemical compartments …

Tropical forests are experiencing increases in vapour pressure deficit (D), with possible
negative impacts on tree growth. Tree‐growth reduction due to rising D is commonly …
