Tropical forest function is of global significance to climate change responses, and critically
determined by water availability patterns. Groundwater is tightly related to soil water through …

Climate, physical landscapes, and biota interact to generate heterogeneous hydrologic
conditions in space and over time, which are reflected in spatial patterns of species …

Patterns, mechanisms, projections, and consequences of tree mortality and associated
broad‐scale forest die‐off due to drought accompanied by warmer temperatures—“hotter …

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

Root access to bedrock water storage or groundwater is an important trait allowing plant
survival in seasonally dry environments. However, the degree of coordination between …

Short-term experimental studies provided evidence that plant diversity increases ecosystem
resilience and resistance to drought events, suggesting diversity to serve as a nature-based …

The relationship between rooting depth and above‐ground hydraulic traits can potentially
define drought resistance strategies that are important in determining species distribution …

Water is a limiting factor and significant driving force for ecosystem processes in arid and
semi-arid areas. Knowledge of plant water uptake pattern is indispensable for …

Plant transpiration links physiological responses of vegetation to water supply and demand
with hydrological, energy and carbon budgets at the land-atmosphere interface. However …

In many regions of the world, climate change is projected to reduce water availability
through changes in the hydrological cycle, including more frequent and intense droughts, as …
