Plant responses to rising vapor pressure deficit
Recent decades have been characterized by increasing temperatures worldwide, resulting
in an exponential climb in vapor pressure deficit (VPD). VPD has been identified as an …

Climate and functional traits jointly mediate tree water‐use strategies
Tree water use is central to plant function and ecosystem fluxes. However, it is still unknown
how organ‐level water‐relations traits are coordinated to determine whole‐tree water‐use …

Carbon starvation following a decade of experimental drought consumes old reserves in Pinus edulis
Shifts in the age or turnover time of non‐structural carbohydrates (NSC) may underlie
changes in tree growth under long‐term increases in drought stress associated with climate …

Mechanisms of a coniferous woodland persistence under drought and heat
Predictions of warmer droughts causing increasing forest mortality are becoming abundant,
yet few studies have investigated the mechanisms of forest persistence. To examine the …

Warming may extend tree growing seasons and compensate for reduced carbon uptake during dry periods
Warming and drought alter plant phenology, photosynthesis and growth with important
consequences for the global carbon cycle and the earth's climate. Yet, few studies have …

Leaf stomatal configuration and photosynthetic traits jointly affect leaf water use efficiency in forests along climate gradients
Water use efficiency (WUE) represents the trade‐off between carbon assimilation and water
loss in plants. It remains unclear how leaf stomatal and photosynthetic traits regulate the …

Seeking the “point of no return” in the sequence of events leading to mortality of mature trees
Drought‐related tree mortality is increasing globally, but the sequence of events leading to it
remains poorly understood. To identify this sequence, we used a 2016 tree mortality event in …
