From the Arctic to the tropics: multibiome prediction of leaf mass per area using leaf reflectance
Leaf mass per area (LMA) is a key plant trait, reflecting tradeoffs between leaf photosynthetic
function, longevity, and structural investment. Capturing spatial and temporal variability in …

Impact of drought stress on simultaneously occurring pathogen infection in field-grown chickpea
Drought stress and pathogen infection simultaneously occur in the field. In this study, the
interaction of these two stresses with chickpea, their individual and combined effect and the …

Intraspecific trait changes in response to drought lead to trait convergence between—but not within—species
Drought is expected to increase in future climate scenarios. Although responses to drought
of individual functional traits are relatively well‐known, simultaneous changes across …
