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 …

Temperate forests in northeast Asia are crucial to maintaining biodiversity conservation and
ecological security. Under the background of global warming and drought, it is of great …

Climate change may reduce forest growth and increase forest mortality, which is connected
to high carbon costs through reductions in gross primary production and net ecosystem …

Abstract Purpose of Review We conducted a literature survey and meta-analysis to assess,
in Mediterranean forests impacted by drought, the role of xylem functional traits as indicators …

In forests, the increase in atmospheric CO 2 concentrations (Ca) has been related to
enhanced tree growth and intrinsic water‐use efficiency (iWUE). However, in drought‐prone …

The Himalayas are experiencing dramatic warming and drought events, which occur at a
faster rate than the global average. How will the high-elevation ecosystems cope with such …

Xylem hydraulic adjustment to global climatic changes was reported from temperate, boreal,
and Mediterranean tree species. Yet, the long-term hydraulic adjustment in tropical tree …

Xylem anatomical features are constantly adapting to changing environmental conditions,
and are directly related to the key functions and physiological processes of trees. However …

Dendroclimatic records in areas with high relative humidity and low thermal amplitude are
manifestly scarcer and only a few studies are applied to species that are present in areas …

Trees can adjust their hydraulic architecture by adjusting vessel size and frequency in
response to stressful environmental condition. Little is known about the long term adjustment …
