Responses of terrestrial ecosystems to climate change have been explored in many regions
worldwide. While continued drying and warming may alter process rates and deteriorate the …

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

Cloud cover can influence numerous important ecological processes, including
reproduction, growth, survival, and behavior, yet our assessment of its importance at the …

Nearly all plant families, represented across most major biomes, absorb water directly
through their leaves. This phenomenon is commonly referred to as foliar water uptake …

Attempts to understand mechanisms underlying plant mortality during drought have led to
the emergence of a hydraulic framework describing distinct hydraulic strategies among …

More than 200 years ago, Alexander von Humboldt reported that tropical plant species
richness decreased with increasing elevation and decreasing temperature. Surprisingly …

The absorption of water and solutes by plant leaves has been recognised since more than
two centuries. Given the polar nature of water and solutes, the mechanisms of foliar uptake …

Foliar water uptake (FWU) is a common water acquisition mechanism for plants inhabiting
temperate fog‐affected ecosystems, but the prevalence and consequences of this process …

Predicting species geographic distributions in the future is an important yet exceptionally
challenging endeavor. Overall, it requires a two‐step process:(1) a niche model …
