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 …

Research on the degree to which carbon (C) availability limits growth in trees, as well as
recent trends in climate change and concurrent increases in drought-related tree mortality …

Climate change is expected to exacerbate drought for many plants, making drought
tolerance a key driver of species and ecosystem responses. Plant drought tolerance is …

Hydraulic redistribution (HR) is the passive movement of water between different soil parts
via plant root systems, driven by water potential gradients in the soil–plant interface. New …

Aims In the face of problems caused by 'intensive agriculture'dominated by large areas of
monocultures, mixed intercrop** mimicking natural ecosystems has been reported to …

Maintenance of long distance water transport in xylem is essential to plant health and
productivity. Both biotic and abiotic environmental conditions lead to embolism formation …

The secondary xylem of woody plants transports water mechanically supports the plant body
and stores resources. These three functions are interdependent giving rise to tradeoffs in …

Foliar water uptake (FWU) is a common water acquisition mechanism for plants inhabiting
temperate fog‐affected ecosystems, but the prevalence and consequences of this process …

Incomplete stomatal closure during the night is observed in a diverse range of C3 and C4
species (Fig. 1; Supplemental Table S1) and can lead to substantial nighttime transpirational …

Hydraulic redistribution (HR)–the movement of water from moist to dry soil through plant
roots–occurs worldwide within a range of different ecosystems and plant species. The …
