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 time required for an ecosystem to recover from severe drought is a key component of
ecological resilience. The phenology effects on drought recovery are, however, poorly …

Every existing optimal stomatal model uses photosynthetic carbon assimilation as a proxy
for plant evolutionary fitness. However, assimilation and growth are often decoupled, making …

Unprecedented tree dieback across Central Europe caused by recent global change‐type
drought events highlights the need for a better mechanistic understanding of drought …

The frequency of extreme drought events has been rising worldwide, but due to its
unpredictability, how plants will respond remains poorly understood. Here, we aimed to …

Drought-driven tree mortality has been occurring globally and been investigated by many
researchers. Yet, while subtropical forests of southern China are predicted to experience an …

Trees are long-lived organisms that integrate climate conditions across years or decades to
produce secondary growth. This integration process is sometimes referred to as 'climatic …

Understanding and predicting plant water dynamics during and after water stress is
increasingly important but challenging because the high‐dimensional nature of the soil …

In this study, we investigated the effects of water-deficit stress on the leaf anatomical traits,
physiological traits, and stem starch content in Quercus acutissima Carruth and Quercus …

Simple Summary Drought is one of the main drivers resulting in carbon imbalance in
terrestrial ecosystems and the mortality of plants. How plants can survive under drought …
