Hydraulic failure resulting from drought‐induced embolism in the xylem of plants is a key
determinant of reduced productivity and mortality. Methods to assess this vulnerability are …

Plant responses to drought and heat stress have been extensively studied, whereas post-
stress recovery, which is fundamental to understanding stress resilience, has received much …

Although xylem embolism is a key process during drought‐induced tree mortality, its
relationship to wood anatomy remains debated. While the functional link between bordered …

Efficient water transport from soil to leaves sustains stomatal opening and steady‐state
photosynthesis. The aboveground portion of this pathway is well‐described, yet the roots …

Elevated atmospheric CO 2 concentration (e [CO 2]) and soil water deficits have substantial
effect on stomatal morphology and movement that regulate plant water relations and plant …

Tight coordination in the photosynthetic, gas exchange and water supply capacities of
leaves is a globally conserved trend across land plants. Strong selective constraints on leaf …

The vast majority of measurements in the field of plant hydraulics have been on small‐
diameter branches from woody species. These measurements have provided considerable …

Abiotic stresses could have complex and diverse effects on the growth and development of
forest trees. In this review, we summarized the responses of morphological, physiological …

Ethylene, a plant hormone that significantly influences both plant growth and response to
stress, plays a well-established role in stress signaling. However, its impact on stomatal …

The iso/anisohydric continuum describes how plants regulate leaf water potential and is
commonly used to classify species drought response strategies. However, drought response …
