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 …

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 …

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 …

The physiological challenges posed by climate change for seasonal, perennial plants
include increased risk of heat waves, postbudbreak freezing ('false springs'), and droughts …

The regulation of water loss and the spread of xylem embolism have mostly been
considered separately. The development of an integrated approach taking into account the …

Turgor loss point (TLP) is an important proxy for plant drought tolerance, species habitat
suitability, and drought‐induced plant mortality risk. Thus, TLP serves as a critical tool for …

Leaf rolling is a physiological response to drought that may help to reduce water loss, but its
significance as a contribution to drought tolerance is uncertain. We scored the leaf rolling of …

Increasing temperature and drought can result in leaf dehydration and defoliation even in
drought‐adapted tree species such as the Mediterranean evergreen Quercus ilex L. The …

Maintaining wine production under global warming partly relies on optimizing the choice of
plant material for a given viticultural region and develo** drought-resistant cultivars …

Fluid transport across intervessel pit membranes of angiosperm xylem plays a major role in
plant transpiration, with transport resistance largely depending on pore constriction sizes …
