Drought, a natural hydrometeorological phenomenon, has been more frequent and more
widespread due to climate change. Water availability strongly regulates the coupling (or …

Drought‐induced xylem embolism is considered to be one of the main factors driving
mortality in woody plants worldwide. Although several structure–functional mechanisms …

Ecosystem water use efficiency (WUE), defined as the ratio of gross primary production
(GPP) over evapotranspiration (ET), is a crucial variable that describes the tradeoff between …

Global warming is an unanimously accepted phenomenon by the international scientific
community, being already highlighted by the analysis of observational data over long …

Water use efficiency (WUE) measures the tradeoff between carbon uptake and water
consumption in terrestrial ecosystems. It remains unclear how the responses of WUE to …

Long-term trends in urban vegetation greenness were systematically analyzed. However,
long-term trends in vegetation greenness under different urban development intensities …

Land use management of forests and croplands mainly drives the vegetation greening in
China. Vegetation greening strongly modulates the trade-off between carbon sequestration …

Abstract Key message Abundant Neotropical canopy-tree species are more resistant to
drought-induced branch embolism than what is currently admitted. Large hydraulic safety …

Hydraulic segmentation at the stem–leaf transition predicts higher hydraulic resistance in
leaves than in stems. Vulnerability segmentation, however, predicts lower embolism …

Ecosystem water use efficiency (WUE describes carbon-water flux coupling in terrestrial
ecosystems. Understanding response and resilience of WUE to drought are essential for …
