Mechanisms of woody-plant mortality under rising drought, CO2 and vapour pressure deficit
Drought-associated woody-plant mortality has been increasing in most regions with multi-
decadal records and is projected to increase in the future, impacting terrestrial climate …

Warming combined with more extreme precipitation regimes modifies the water sources used by trees
The persistence of vegetation under climate change will depend on a plant's capacity to
exploit water resources. We analyzed water source dynamics in piñon pine and juniper trees …

Relative contribution of groundwater to plant transpiration estimated with stable isotopes
Water stored underground in the saturated and subsurface zones below the soil are
important sources of water for plants in water-limited ecosystems. The presence of deep …

Importance of low‐flow and high‐flow characteristics to restoration of riparian vegetation along rivers in arid south‐western United States
Riparian vegetation in dry regions is influenced by low‐flow and high‐flow components of
the surface and groundwater flow regimes. The duration of no‐flow periods in the surface …

Stability of tropical forest tree carbon‐water relations in a rainfall exclusion treatment through shifts in effective water uptake depth
Increasing severity and frequency of drought is predicted for large portions of the terrestrial
biosphere, with major impacts already documented in wet tropical forests. Using a 4‐year …
