Key message Resource-limited environments showed a tendency towards conservative and
coupled leaf and wood traits, while displaying an acquisitive and decoupled pattern in …

In tropical dry forests, studies on wood anatomical traits have concentrated mainly on
variations in vessel diameter and frequency. Recent research suggests that parenchyma …

The hydraulic architecture of woody plants may show intra‐and interspecific variations along
aridity gradients as a result of wood trait trade‐offs, which depend on species‐specific …

To elucidate the physiological and morphological factors underlying intraspecific variation in
growth rate, we examined the variation in leaf and whole‐tree traits for three geographical …

Key message Mexican Neotropical Symplocos species showed different wood anatomical
climate adaptations and can help identify the effect of drought on relict-rare and endemic …

Successional tropical dry forest (TDF) species face water scarcity in the harsh dry season.
Wood features provide insight into potential hydraulic stress co** mechanisms. Here, we …

To achieve optimal balance among wood's support, storage, and transport functions, tree
species present adaptive variation in wood anatomical traits. Oaks (Quercus) are woody …

Climate and local water availability are major evolutionary drivers of adaptive variation and
plasticity in the hydraulic architecture of Tropical Montane Cloud Forest (TMCF) tree species …

Despite their crucial role in providing ecosystem services and livelihood support in 124
countries, mangroves are facing challenges from warming, altered seasonal precipitation …

Background Variations in hydraulic conductivity may arise from species-specific differences
in the anatomical structure and function of the xylem, reflecting a spectrum of plant strategies …
