Drought events may increase the likelihood that the plant water transport system becomes
interrupted by embolism. Yet our knowledge about the temporal frequency of xylem …

Functional traits are good predictors of plant responses and adaptations to ever‐changing
environments. However, forecasting forest community dynamics is challenging because the …

Subtropical evergreen broadleaf forests (SEBF) are experiencing and expected to suffer
more frequent and severe drought events. However, how the hydraulic traits directly link to …

Plant thermoregulation through transpirational cooling is important when facing heat stress
and is suggested as an active mechanism to maintain lower leaf temperature during …

It has been suggested that a trade‐off between hydraulic efficiency and safety is related to
drought adaptation across species. However, whether leaf hydraulic efficiency is sacrificed …

Current theoretical models for tree relative growth rate (RGR) have considered physiological
processes based on carbon economy and nutrient-productivity relations, but have not taken …

Leaf hydraulic conductance and the vulnerability to water deficits have profound effects on
plant distribution and mortality. In this study, we compiled a leaf hydraulic trait dataset with …

The hydraulic traits of a plant species may reflect its climate adaptations. Southwest China is
considered as a biodiversity hotpot of the genus Quercus (oak). However, the hydraulic …

Climate change has resulted in an increase in drought severity in the species-rich tropical
and subtropical forests of southern China. Exploring the spatiotemporal relationship …
